Ephesus

A great view of the theatre.

Flora, fauna, and a graveyard...




I was so happy I caught this kid performing! It can hold 15000 people, though clearly it's not full.





The grand dame, the Library of Celsus. It's incredible, although this a reconstruction, that the pieces survived at all, and in such good condition.

Again, beautiful details, and just remarkable that it survived earthquakes and pillagers.












An impressive latrine, no?

The view from the Roman bath.

















More incredible details...








A mosaic floor. Wow, honestly. I can't believe it survived!



For some background information, here is a wikipedia link, too:
