  • Isa Bey Mosque, built 1374-5, with the Ayaslug Hills in the distance, Selcuk, near Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey. The mosque was built in Seljuk style under the Emir of Aydin in honour of the Aydinid Isa Bey. Here we see the courtyard of the mosque with its Classical columns, the brick minaret, which is ruined above its balcony level, and the main building of the mosque with its 2 domes. Columns and stones from the ruins of the nearby Greek and Roman city of Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis were incorporated into the building's interior and exterior. The mosque was restored in 1934.

  • Ruins of the Basilica of St John with the 2-storey narthex, built 536-565 AD under Emperor Justinian on the site of the apostle's tomb, Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey. St John the Evangelist spent his last years in Ephesus and died here. In the 4th century a church was erected over his tomb but in the 6th century Justinian ordered the construction of a large, 6-domed basilica built of stone and brick with marble columns in a Greek cross plan, the ruins of which we see today. The church measures 130x56m and was an important Christian pilgrimage site, attaining the status of "Church of the Cross". The domes were over the central crossing, choir, transepts and nave. Five domes rested on solid piers in the corners of the cross and surmounted the arms and centre crossing, held in place by massive marble pillars. Storks now nest on the capitals of the columns on the upper storey of the nave arcade or narthex, seen here. The church interior would have been covered with frescoes, and the vaults with mosaics. An earthquake in the 14th century destroyed most of the building. Ephesus was an ancient Greek city founded in the 10th century BC, and later a major Roman city, on the Ionian coast near present day Selcuk. Picture by Manuel Cohen
