Ephesus
Today, I went to the ancient ruins of the city of Ephesus outside of Kudasi, Turkey. This is the city that is mentioned in the Bible... you know, Paul's letter to the Ephesians. The Temple of Artemis was one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. But now the Temple artifacts are actually housed in London, and are not in display at the original location outside of the Ephesus archeological site in Turkey; the site of the ancient Temple of Artemis is actually a farm.

About 30% of the ancient city has been excavated, and some of it has been reconstructed. It is a lovely archeological site... especially the library, which is marvelous.
Here's a photo of the library at Ephesus.
