What travelers say:
The remnants of this place are a bit pitiful, so there is no ticket, there are only two postcard vendors at the door, there are no tourists entering, only a huge pillar and a vaguely visible foundation.

The Temple of Artemis Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Temple of Artemis was once selected as one of the Seven Wonders of the World along with the pyramids and the Hanging Gardens. It was built for the goddess Artemis in Greek mythology. When it was first built, it was larger than the Parthenon in Athens, and it is a glorious presence in the Western world, with its 127 pillars carved at the base of each. But it didn't work as expected. In 356 BC, this beautiful and splendid temple was burned down by the Greek Herosstatus, and the rebuilt temple was later damaged by the Goths. It was not until 1869 that archaeologist John Tetau Wood discovered the ruins of the Temple of Artemis, which brought the temple, once regarded as the Seven Wonders of the World, to the light of day. The excavation work continued until 1874. At the site of the Temple of Artemis today, people used excavated marble to form a stone pillar as a marker.

Stop by the Aegean Sea, the ancient city of Ephesus-Arthemis Temple, the ancient city of 3,000 years, and feel the grandeur of ancient Rome. From the remaining towering pillars, imagine one of the seven wonders of the world-the magnificent temple of Ademi!
Selcuk is really a place worth staying for a few more days, surrounded by many monuments. The most famous is Ephesus. In addition, this time I went to the cold ancient city of Milidu. Unfortunately, I missed the Apollo Temple of Didima. The temple of Artemis, the seven wonders of ancient times, only 1 of the 127 columns of the past

Ermitus, also known as Cynthia, was a hunting goddess in ancient Greek mythology, known as "the hostess of the beast and the lord of the wilderness". One of the twelve gods of Olympus. He was also the daughter of Zeus and Leto, the twin sister of Apollo. Artemis was free and independent and loved the wild life. Against marriage. She liked unmarried virgins and young men and women who despised Aphrodite. She was regarded as three goddesses on the Olympus Mountains with Hestia and Athena. She promised her father Zeus as a virgin forever from childhood, and demanded bows and arrows, All the mountains and 20 Ningfu maids who kept her hunting boots. In the forest and the mountains, Artemis held a bow and arrow, accompanied by hounds, and the fairies who served her enjoyed hunting. She loved the golden horns and caught them pulling her car. Artemis was chosen by the goddess of fate as the delivery god, so he asked Zeus for the authority to deliver the newborn. She was one of the most sacrificed gods of the ancient Greeks. The temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the world, was built for her.
