The 7 Wonders of the World One of them, the Temple of Artemis, can be seen in Selçuk district of İzmir. We can say that Selçuk district is a complete paradise for history buffs. Let's continue to give information about the Temple of Artemis before the subject gets dispersed. This temple, built in the name of Artemis, who was believed to be a goddess in ancient times, is one of the most obvious examples of how advanced Ions were in architecture. It is estimated that the first temple was built around 800 BC. Later, this temple was destroyed and rebuilt. The second temple, which is the size of a football field, took about 120 years to be completed. Believed to be designed by the Greek architect Kersifron in the name of the Lydian king Croesus (Karun), this gigantic temple is also one of the places where the first coins in history have been seen. Today, part of the temple, which is considered to be the Ephesus Artemis, was moved to England in 1847 as a result of an excavation carried out on behalf of the British Museum.
