Archaeological Biblical Citadel Ephesus Selcuk Efes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative late 19th century photograph captures the enchanting ruins of The Citadel in Selcuk, Turkey, once the ancient city of Ephesus. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the rich history and biblical stories that unfolded within these ancient walls. The Citadel, also known as Ayasuluk Castle, has stood guard over the landscape since the Hellenistic period, with later additions made during the Roman and Byzantine eras. It is believed that the site was a place of worship for various ancient civilizations, including the Greeks, Romans, and Christians. The ruins of the castle are set against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, with the azure Aegean Sea glimmering in the distance. The photograph showcases the impressive fortifications, including the imposing gateway, towering walls, and intricate arches. For Christians, Selcuk and Ephesus hold significant historical and spiritual importance. The New Testament of the Bible mentions Ephesus as the site of the House of Mary, where the Virgin Mary is believed to have lived out her final days. The nearby Basilica of St. John, built in the 6th century AD, is said to be the final resting place of the apostle John. This photograph is a captivating illustration of the intersection of history, religion, and culture in Selcuk, Turkey. It invites us to reflect on the stories and people who once walked these ancient streets and to appreciate the enduring allure of this remarkable archaeological site.
