Biblical city
Ephesus
Selçuk, Türkiye · Roman Asia Minor
The leading city of Roman Asia and home to the temple of Artemis, Ephesus was a harbor and commercial hub where Paul ministered for some three years (Acts 19). Revelation addresses its church first, commending its labor while warning that it had left its first love. The excavated ruins near modern Selçuk include the theater, the Library of Celsus, and the marble main street.
