Temple of Hadrian at Ephesus

The Temple of Hadrian, a highlight of the archaeological site of Ephesus in Selçuk, Turkey, was built in the 2nd century as a tribute to Emperor Hadrian, Artemis, and the people of Ephesus. This small but impeccably preserved Roman ruin features an exterior arch, a porch, and a main hall, all supported by Corinthian columns. The temple’s intricate stonework and architectural details showcase the mastery of ancient Roman engineering. Visitors can explore the temple and its surroundings, strolling through the adjacent park for panoramic views of this historical gem.
