Temple on the State Agora
Temple foundations on the State Agora add a religious element to Ephesus’s upper civic square. The remains are slight, so their position matters more than an imagined standing façade.
Why go
Pause here to see that public ritual shared space with administrative life. The temple’s first-century BC date and setting on the square help distinguish it from the much larger Artemis sanctuary outside the Roman center and the imperial-cult terrace above Domitian Square.
What to look for
Foundations mark a temple on the State Agora.
The temple belongs to the upper civic square, not the Artemis sanctuary.
Useful to know
Read the foundations from the signed route; direct access is unverified.
Use the Odeon and Prytaneion nearby to understand the square’s mixed civic and sacred roles.
