Turkey🇹🇷Ephesus｜The ancient city of Ephesus, unique marble paved roads

The ancient city of Ephesos, which has stood for more than two thousand years, has Greek and Roman elements and has been listed as a World Cultural Heritage 👍
It is one of the best preserved and largest ancient Greek and Roman civilizations in the world❗️

The city was founded by the Ionians in the 11th century BC. It disappeared from history in the 15th century until it was excavated and reappeared in the second half of the 19th century. The most distinctive feature of the ancient city is its marble-paved streets, so be careful. Walk🤣🤣🤣
I even slipped on a marble😂😅🤣

A major feature here is the open-air opera house. The entrance and exit are passages on both sides and there are dressing rooms. The circulation design is almost the same as that of a modern theater. The theater can accommodate 25,000 spectators. At that time, the population of Ephesus was already 400,000 to 500,000. It was one of the largest cities at that time! ! This city has witnessed the prosperity of Greek and Roman culture. The most impressive thing is that the statue of the "Goddess of Victory" is the inspiration for the trademark design of a well-known sports brand.

This was once the most fertile and prosperous city in Asia✨️
When you look at the first few photos, do you think they look like a mini version of the Roman Coliseum?
