St. Paul’s time in Ephesus was marked by fervent missionary activity, profound teachings, and enduring impact on the Christian community. This blog explores the historical and religious significance of St. Paul’s mission in Ephesus, delving into the key events, sites, and letters that shaped the early Christian faith.

"The Ephesus Terrace Houses, also known as 'the houses of the rich,' are important because they provide valuable insights into family life during the Roman period. They were built according to the Hippodamian plan of the city, where streets intersected each other at right angles." There are six residential units on three terraces at the lower end of the slope of the Bulbul Mountain. The oldest building dates back into the 1C BC and continued in use as residence until the 7C AD.
