Ephesus, Turkey
Ephesus is one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the Mediterranean world and an important archaeological site in western Turkey. The city is famous for remarkable ruins such as the Library of Celsus and the Temple of Artemis, once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In addition, Paul the Apostle spent several years in Ephesus spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ and strengthening the early Christian community, writing the biblical Epistle to the Ephesians to guide and encourage the believers there. Later, John the Apostle moved there to care for Mary, the mother of Jesus to continue spreading the faith. Today, the House of the Virgin Mary and the Basilica of St. John are visited by pilgrims and tourists alike, honoring the lasting spiritual legacy of Mary and John in the city.
