Library of Celsus

The Library of Celsus, located in the ancient city of Ephesus, is one of the most iconic Roman structures in Turkey. Built in the 2nd century AD, it once housed thousands of scrolls and served as both a library and a monumental tomb for the Roman governor Celsus. Today, its beautifully restored façade stands as a symbol of Ephesus and offers visitors a glimpse into the architectural and cultural achievements of the Roman era.
