Temple of the Emperors

Why go

The terrace makes Roman imperial worship visible as part of Ephesus’s civic landscape. Look up from Domitian Square to grasp how the complex asserted presence above the route, then compare it with the Pollio fountain below, which served a different public purpose.

What to look for

• The temple precinct stands on a terrace above Domitian Square.
• The terrace is separate from the fountain remains below.

Useful to know

• View from the signed route; access onto the terrace is unverified.
• Use Domitian Square to compare the imperial-cult site with the nearby fountain.
