During the reign of Augustus, the town hall was built and a burning torch was placed in the temple to symbolize the eternal spiritual survival of the city.

It is said that the flame burned for hundreds of years. In order that the flame would not be extinguished, priests named Kurit searched everywhere for firewood, and they dragged it through the streets, and everyone had to make way for them, so the main thoroughfare in the city was called the Kurit Avenue. It is called the temple because the building was originally dedicated to the goddess Artemis.

Later, archaeologists excavated two stone sculptures of the goddess Artemis in good shape in the ruins, and these two stone sculptures are now the treasures of the Selcuk Museum.

Ephesus, the goddess of victory, had to pass through this gate before she could actually step into the Kurit Avenue. There are now only two stone pillars carved with the god of the door of this gate, because both of them are Hercules, the god of Hercules.

That's why this gate is called the Gate of Hercules. The purpose of this gate is to protect the city hall in front of it, and it is also a landmark, separating the city hall from general public facilities and the houses of ordinary people. The gate of Kurit Avenue is about 50 meters long in Ephesus Kurit Avenue. Meander all the way to the Selthers Library.

It is an account of the sacrificial activities performed by the monks of Kurit in Ephesus. Every spring, the monks don their gowns and walk out of the temple along the avenue to the end, where the goddess Artemis was born, 7 kilometers away. The monks' task was to recreate the birth of Artemis, the mother goddess of Ephesus, in theatrical form.

As such, Kurit Avenue is also part of the Holy Way. Ephesus was hot, and both Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi changed into their clothes in late spring and early summer. Travelling to Turkey during this season is a must to prepare clothing from early winter to early summer. There is a row of boutiques on the left side of Kurit Avenue in Ephesus Kurit Avenue, a part of which has now been excavated.

Zhou Xiken asked Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to pay attention to the mosaics on the ground, more than 2,000 years ago, the Ephesians used mosaics, and they were mosaic floors. Shops, Ephesus, mosaics, sidewalks, Ephesus, see that monument being renovated? It was Zhou Xiken's favorite Hadrian Temple, but unfortunately it was under repair and could not be seen in real terms.

The Temple of Hadrian is the most beautiful restored structure in the Boulevard de Kurit, and it is named after Emperor Hadrian (76 AD – 138 AD). Hadrian became Roman emperor in 117 AD, and his reign was the most prosperous period of Rome and the largest period of the Roman Empire.

It is documented. Emperor Hadrian visited Ephesus several times, and during his visit in 128 C.E., he allowed the construction of a temple for himself. For this purpose, the Ephesians built the temple near the church of Mary, which was completed in 138 AD. It was also during Hadrian's time that the architecture of Ephesus changed from the Greek style to the Romanesque style.

Hadrian's Temple in Ephesus, which is being renovated, is a restoration of Hadrian's Temple. It is a typical Corinthian temple, and the most noteworthy thing inside the temple is the sculptures. There are many carvings of mythological figures on the pillars of the interior wall, one side is from the Greek era, the other side depicts a figure painting of the Amazonian woman kingdom, and the statue on the façade of the interior wall is the gorgon Medusa.

Taking its strong qualities as the patron saint of the temple, various characters are brought to life. Restoration of Hadrian's Temple, Zhou Xiken asked Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to enter this side street from the Temple of Hadrian. On the right side of the Ephesus street on the ancient city path is the public bath. The baths were built in the 1st century BC and were built very scientifically.

In order to take care of the needs of bathers, the baths are divided into rooms with different water temperatures. Water is brought into the indoor bath through underground pipes, and the bottom of the bath is empty. Easy to burn fire. These are the 4 typical forms of baths in the Roman period, with cold, warm and hot baths, as well as cloakrooms.

Public Bath Ephesus Public Bath Ephesus, this is the ancient Ephesian men's social place, the first thing to do when you get up early in the morning is to come here, it is convenient. While discussing current affairs and exchanging information. Communicate feelings; If you get tired of shopping, you can also come here to rest.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi asked Zhou Xiken, doesn't it stink after sitting for so long? It's not pretty. Zhou Xiken said that there is a waterway below, which can be washed at any time and will not be too smelly. And. At that time, people were wearing long robes, and the entire squatting position was covered, like sitting on a bench, and it was not unsightly. Looking at the cold slate, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi said. The Ephesians were not afraid of the cold.

Fortunately, Ephesus is located by the sea, and the temperature here is much higher than Cappadocia, so this problem should not be solved. Outside the public toilet in Ephesus, this unknown site is located opposite the sloping house, which is said to have been a wealthy settlement, but there are no complete buildings, only mosaics on the ground and frescoes on the walls.

Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi did not go up. The ruins of the ancient city left the side street, and Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi came to the end of Kurit Avenue, which was the intersection of Kurit Avenue and Marble Street. Ephesus at the end of Kurit Avenue is pictured below with the Library of Celsus, a landmark building in the ancient city of Ephesus.

The Library of Cesses was built in the 2nd century AD. At that time, an official in Rome succeeded his father Celtheus as governor of Ephesus. In honor of his father, he built this magnificent library on his father's mausoleum. The Selthes Library was a two-story marble building that at the time was known as the second largest library in Asia Minor.

There are a total of 16 large stone pillars in front of the door, each as thick as two people hugging together. The pillars are thick in the middle and thin on both sides, making them appear open from the viewing angle. After an earthquake and fire, the library was completely restored by Austrians in 1972-1978, and every stone chip was restored and built back to its original place, and the artifacts inside are preserved in the Staatskmuseum Vienna, Austria.

The Selthes Library faces east, allowing the reading room to take advantage of the morning light. Legend has it that the men of Ephesus liked to tell their wives that they would go to the library to read books. It was later discovered that the library had an underground passage that led to a nearby building that was believed to be a brothel, so there were many jokes about it.

Instead of reading in the library, many men went to brothels. There are 4 statues of goddesses on the front of the first floor of the Ephesian Library of the Selthers Library, which are the goddesses of wisdom, fate, knowledge, and virtue. There were also 4 sculptures on the second floor, but they have disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown.

Ephesus, the goddess of fate, the goddess of wisdom, is located on Marble Street next to the library, and it is rumored to be a signpost associated with that brothel. There is a finger pointing to the left on the side of the footprint, which means that it is a sign of prostitution in ancient times, and if you have money, you can move forward and talk to women.

Another theory is that because the footprint was human-sized, it means that only adults are allowed to enter. The road sign Ephesus Library is next to the south gate of the commercial square of the democracy movement. The south gate has 3 entrances, decorated with ivy and jagged friezes, and the walls are written in bronze characters with monumental inscriptions in Latin.

According to the inscription. In 3 B.C., the gate was built by King Augustus, Queen Libya, his deceased son-in-law and Princess Julia Honorus, and was built by two slaves who had been freed by the king. Ephesus, the south gate of the commercial market, enters the gate and is greeted by a row of columns. The circumference of the commercial plaza is 112 meters, and the perimeter is surrounded by columns.

The malle-bellaçais-pillar Ephesus Square is very open, and the western side of the mall has excavated the ruins of early commercial squares and residential sites dating back to the 7th century BC. The ruins we see today are from the 1st century AD. The picture below of the private market Ephesus is a restoration of the pillar building, which is very imposing, and the ancient splendor can be seen.

Behind the Ephesus columns, there are vaulted shops of equal size, which can be imagined as a picture of the prosperity of the place at that time. The pillars around the commercial plaza in Ephesus began from the entrance gate, and the children and their parents and a family of three were always in the same direction as Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi visited.

This kid is not afraid of people, and keeps smiling at Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, which is so cute. The little boy playing in the square, the Ephesus Commercial Square, has a two-story structure of shops on the north and south sides, and gates are set up for the port on the north and west sides. Commercial plaza passed after hundreds of years of use. Many sculptural pedestals and monuments showing the glory were left behind.

The inscriptions record important documents such as the age of the city's construction, cultural activities, urban management, religious and social life, etc. Commercial Plaza Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi now enter Marble Street. Marble Street is one of the main avenues of Ephesus, about 400 meters long, and the section between Hadrian's Gate and the Collegium is paved with white marble.

Therefore, it is called Marble Street. In the past, Marble Street was a bustling market, but now the streets are lined with broken stone pillars, and only from the scale of the columns on both sides can you imagine the splendor of this place in ancient times. At the end of the Marble Street in Ephesus, the Marble Road, is the Grand Coliseum, which is built on a slope. It was one of the largest theaters in the world in ancient times.

It can accommodate 250,000 spectators. In ancient times, various festivals were held as well as "popular meetings". All the people of Ephesus came to the Great Theater to take part in the event. The band plays on a horseshoe-shaped platform in the middle, and it is said that classical music is acoustic, but modern pop music is not so effective.

This proves that the wise ancient Ephesians designed this theater based on the music of the time. for the best results. The Ephesian Coliseum was built in the 3rd century BC and completed in the 2nd century AD over a period of about 500 years, so it is a mixture of Greek and Roman architectural styles.

The inside of the theater is Greek-style, with a semi-circular shape. The auditorium gradually rises along the mountain. The auditorium is divided into three levels, with two stairs leading up to the auditorium. There is a row of columns behind the auditorium on the top floor, which can serve as a reinforcement of the theater and as a decoration of the theater. The arched doors of the theater are clearly in the Roman architectural style.

Ephesus the Coliseum follows the road in front of the Collegium along the hillside to the north, leading to the sports fields and stadiums of ancient Ephesus, where excavation has not yet begun. The unexcavated monument Ephesus out of the Grand Collegium is the harbor avenue, which leads to the port at that time, and now the sea of love has long been far away from the ancient city of Ephesus, and the harbor no longer exists.

Only fond memories of the locals. The Harbour Avenue is the widest avenue in Ephesus, and now there are few buildings left on both sides of the road, only broken pillars and stones. It is said that it was a bustling shopping street lined with shops, theaters and gymnasiums.

The ancient Ephesians were fond of sports, and there are currently three stadiums found, plus stadiums and sports fields, with different functions. Harbor Avenue Ephesus Grand Theater Exit Ephesus From the harbor Avenue from a distance view of the Grand Theater panorama, magnificent atmosphere, very spectacular. Due to the high terrain of the Grand Theater, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi can still clearly see the Grand Theater on the highway later.

View of the Collegiate Ephesus from the distance of Harbour Boulevard, which is a greenway out of the Ephesus scenic area. Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi talked while walking, and when they walked to the exit, they suddenly heard a familiar local voice greeting Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi. It turned out to be a self-guided fellow, and he was very happy when he heard the local sound.

At the exit of the scenic spot, the one wearing yellow clothes is a fellow villager who went to Israel and Turkey alone, and she has been out for 1 month. The sisters admired her courage and courage, and how many difficulties she had to overcome. Yunluo especially admires her and the camera in her hand, which is very big and heavy, Yunluo can't even carry a general SLR machine, so she can only take a card machine.

The self-guided tour is really a game for the brave and the physically fit! Fellow Ephesus Zhou Xiken was in a hurry today, but it turned out that Ephesus was still early, and he advanced the leather goods store he would go to tomorrow. That's fine, because there are so many attractions in Istanbul, Yunluo has been worried about running out of time. The sales in this leather goods store are in a class of its own.

At the beginning, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi were allowed to watch the fashion show, of course, they were all wearing leather clothes. In the middle of the Ephesus performance of the leather shop fashion show, the staff invited two people to the stage among the group members, and Meimei's red dress was matched with a red leather coat, and the color was very coordinated. Most of the leather clothes here are Angora sheepskins, which are so thin that they cannot be wrung by hand. (To be continued.) )u
