Ephesus was one of the largest cities of the Roman east, and what survives includes a marble main street, the two-storey facade of the Library of Celsus and a theatre seating around 24,000. The terrace houses, under a separate cover and ticket, preserve mosaics and wall painting from wealthy homes. Shade is limited, so early or late visits are better.
