History of Ephesus
Ephesus is near the tourist resort of Kusadasi. It was founded in the 10th century B.C. as a colony of the Attic-Ionian people. Throughout the centuries, the city was besieged by different conquerors. It was under attack by the Cimmerians, Lydians, Persians, and Romans before it was destroyed by the Goths in the year 263 A.D.
Even if it was destroyed by the Goths, it remained to be a vital commercial hub throughout the Byzantine Era, until the Turks invaded it in 1304 A.D. Although the city was conquered by various civilizations, most of the structures in Ephesus were built or renovated during the Roman Era.
