Ephesus is an old city in Turkey, near the sea in Izmir Province. It was a big and important place long ago, where Greeks and Romans lived. It was known for trade, culture, and religion. There's a famous old building there, the Library of Celsus, which had many scrolls.
People visiting Ephesus can see the Temple of Artemis, a very special old wonder, and a big theatre that could hold 25,000 people. The ruins of the city show what life was like back then, with old streets, houses, and baths.
Ephesus is also a special place for Christians because it's where they think the Virgin Mary spent her last days. There's a small chapel called the House of the Virgin Mary on a mountain close by, and many people go there.
