Temple of Artemis (Reconstructed Dimensions)
One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, now just a single column/Ancient Structures
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus in present-day Turkey was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The final and grandest version, rebuilt after arson in 356 BC, measured roughly 137 meters long and 69 meters wide, making it about four times larger than the Parthenon. It featured 127 Ionic columns, each about 18 meters tall, and was adorned with sculptures by the finest Greek artists. The temple was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times before its final destruction by the Goths in 262 AD. Today, only a single reconstructed column and scattered foundation stones mark the site.
