This photograph, taken by Ethel Davies in 2019, showcases the breathtaking Library of Celsus in Ephesus, Turkey. A testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this ancient city, the library was built during the ancient Greek times, around 110-140 AD, by the Roman senator Celsus. The library's intricate architecture and stunning marble facade have endured through the centuries, surviving the medieval era and remaining a prominent landmark in Kusadasi, Turkey. The Library of Celsus, with its three stories and 12 Ionic columns on each side, stands proudly amidst the ruins of Ephesus. The meticulously restored columns and friezes, adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions, are a sight to behold.

The vibrant colors and clear details bring the ancient structure to life, transporting us back in time.
