The Temple of Artemis
What the temple did look like (wow). Those "dots" are all columns. A view of the Citadel of Selcuk and a 15th century mosque.
All that remains of this Temple, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, is this reconstructed column. Although there are many stones still left, most were taken centuries ago to build homes and new buildings. Sigh. If only people knew back then how much it would mean to us today.
