An incredible atmospheric place! The library is one of the most amazing places in Ephesus in terms of energy! Beauty, architecture! The city itself is incredible! It impresses with its amazing and unique beauty! Here you discover a different Turkey. There are many interesting things on the territory: streets, an interactive modern museum, a library, an amphitheater, buildings, ruins.

I liked Ephesus, I definitely recommend it to visit. The Library of Celsus is one of the monumental structures restored from the rubble, which helps to create an idea of that era.

It is the second most magnificent building to be seen after the Ephesus Ancient Theater. An artistic architecture made with extraordinary craftsmanship. There are 3 statues on the facade. It also contains information about the history of Ephesus and the cultural life of science. It's all made of stonework. Celsus Library is a remnant of a library located in Ephesus, connected to Seljuk, Izmir. The library, which was built during the Ionian period, which is one of the first age civilizations, has two floors. It is thought to have housed as many as 14,000 books in its time. Others of his sculptures are exhibited in the Selcuk Museum.
