"Loved by visitors and appreciated by scientists Terrace House 2 in Ephesos is a unique testimony for living culture in the past. The building covers an area of 4000 square metres overful with precious mosaic pavements, marble veneer and wall paintings. A modern shelter covers the outstanding heritage of the Roman Imperial era and allows an impressive sightseeing-tour, where one cannot stop being astonished. The 2000 years old, lavishly decorated frescoes belong to the best preserved examples of their kind and offer a touching glimpse into the private life of our ancestors,"--Ephesus Foundation website.
