9. Ephesus, Turkey
via turklandtravel.com
If there’s one city that truly depicts the beauty of centuries past, it’s Ephesus in Turkey. The ancient city along the coast of Ionia was most famous for the Temple of Artemis, which happens to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, long since destroyed by war.
Ephesus also bore witness to many events in Christianity, including the legend that the Virgin Mary possibly spent her last years on earth in the city. Other relics of equal significance are the Library of Celsus facade, the Temple of Hadrian, and the Tomb of Pollio.
