Ephesus part 2 - ruins under reconstruction




We saw the houses of the wealthy in Ephesus. They are under reconstruction. You can walk around the whole area, which is enclosed, and see many amazing examples of well-preserved mosaics in these houses. The Turkish Ministry of Tourism built a large structure with clear floors that you can see through to get probably the best view available of these pieces. They have been working with Austria on these for years.
