Library of Celsus<br />
Originally built in 115-125 A.D., this restored facade is a highlight of the ruins today. This<br />
style is believed to be the standard architectural form for Roman libraries. The interior<br />
measures 70 by 80 feet and held approximately 15,000 scrolls.<br />
This library was dedicated to Celsus the proconsul of Asia and his sarcophagus was<br />
located under the apse.<br />
Terrace Houses<br />
From the time of Augustus, these dwellings of wealthy Ephesians, were decorated with<br />
beautiful frescoes and mosaics. The houses had luxurious bedrooms, bathrooms,<br />
triclinium, and kitchens. These are multistory houses with terraces.<br />
