In ancient times its favourable location at the mount of the Cayster River made it the foremost commercial city of a coastal region that also included the cities of Miletus, Smyrna & Pergamon, but the silting up of its harbour gradua lly resulted in the loss this pre-eminence. The city has been excavated for more than 100 years; the extensive remains are predominantly from the later Roman Period. Ephesus formed a focal point in the ancient world because of its protected harbour and as a starting point for the royal road via Sardis to Susa.

(The stigmatized German nun Anne Catherine Emmerich who ad never been to Ephesus had a vision of the House of the Virgin Mary and described it in detail to the German writer Clemens Bretano who later published a book about it. Catherine Emmerich died in 1884. In 1891 Paul, Superior of the Lazarists from Izmir read about her vision and found little building, which corresponded with Emmerich's descriptions. Archaeological evidence showed that the little house was from the 6C AD but that the foundations were from the 1C AD. This place was officially declared a shrine of the Roman Catholic Church in 1896 and since then, it has become a popular place of pilgrimage, Pope Paul VI visited the shrine in 1967.)
