Temple of Artemis (Ephesus)

The Artemis Temple in Ephesus was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was a Greek temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis, and was located in the ancient city of Ephesus, which is now in modern-day Turkey. The temple was built three times, with the final version completed around 550 BCE. It was an enormous structure, measuring around 425 feet long and 225 feet wide, with 127 columns each standing 60 feet high. The temple was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries, and very little of it remains today. However, the site is still a popular tourist attraction and is recognized as an important historical and cultural landmark.
