Magnesia Gate |
|
| |
|
|
| |
There are two entrances to the city today. For an
easy tour, begin at the Magnesia Gate (Upper Gate)
located on the road going to the House of Mary. The
photograph at the top is the Upper Gate. Under the
trees is the gate the ruins. To the right of the
gate are various stores and restaurants. One can
also find parking space here.
Across the road from the gate is a field with remains of what was thought
to be the grave of St. Luke, where a church was
later built on top of a former temple.
Going down the road towards Selçuk is the actual Magnesia Gate itself,
the only ancient gate still visible at Ephesus. It
was first built in the city walls by Lysimachus in
the 3rd century and magnificently restored by
Vespasian (69-79). There was once a sacred road
leading from the Temple to Artemis around Mt.
Panayir to this gate. Damianus built this colonnaded
road in the 2nd century. |
