The transient nature and greatness is rarely as clearly displayed as it is in Ephesus, a city once renowned throughout the ancient world as a major trading port, a metropolis of some 250,000 inhabıtants and religious and cultural centre. It was also the home of one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World, monumental temple of Artemis known as Diana to the Romans. Efes (Ephesus), holds an important place in the history of the early Christian Church as it is here that St. Paul preached and it was to the Ephesians that he addressed some of his memorable teachings. Some 400 year after St. Paul’s visit a great ecumenical council assembled here to hold heated theological arguments and lay down the law.
