A detail of Celsus Library, reachly decorated carved stone

The façade of the Library of Celsus is one of the most spectacular sights of Ephesus. It was built by a Roman in memory of his father and faces east so that the reading rooms could make best use of the morning light. As one of the most beautifully reconstructed buildings in Ephesus, it has become an icon of this ancient city.
