Day 7
Temple of Artemis
October 9, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
This was a few minutes walk up the road from the Museum. It is a field of ruins with only one column standing, and the bottoms of the rest showing the extent of the temple.

The temple was dedicated to the goddess Artemis (called Diana by Romans) who was goddess of many things it seems: the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, nature, vegetation, care of children, childbirth, and chastity. (not sure how those last two reconcile except for the one time!)

Even viewing just the ruins you can get a sense of the vast size at 137 by 69 metres with 129 columns. In ancient times it was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was started in 323BC on the site of two earlier temples.Read more

Major church dedicated to Saint John, the disciple who accompanied Mary after the crucification. The basilica was built by Justinian in the 6th century.

Immediately in front of the apse is the site of the tomb of John, shown in the 4th picture. 5th is a baptistry, and 6th is another part of the building complex.Read more

One of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, destroyed in the 4th century. Only 1 column remains. Most were reused elsewhere, including in Hagia Sophia (see post from last year). In the 1st picture overlooking part of the temple, you can see 3 religions: The pagan the temple; a mosque up the hill to toward the left; and the 4 pillars at the top right are at the basilica of St. John. The 3rd photo shows the original floor.Read more
