TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS
This one column is all that remains of the Temple of Artemis, or Temple of Diana, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The rest of the temple was taken and used in the building of the Hagia Sophia, which we saw in Istanbul. It is nice to see the birds have found a way to repurpose the column. I have copied a picture of what the temple used to look like.

When you are there and looking at this column, you have the Basillica of St John in the background and an ancient mosque so you have paganism, early Islam and early Christianity all in one picture.
