Terrace Houses
The roofed Terrace Houses preserve domestic mosaics, wall paintings and heating features in a way open-air street ruins cannot. They need more time than a quick façade stop.
This is where the scale of private life in Roman Ephesus becomes concrete. Rooms, decoration and heating features let you compare wealthy homes with the public buildings along Curetes Street; the protected excavation adds a different kind of detail to the main archaeological walk.
What to look for
Mosaics and wall paintings survive in the roofed excavation.
Heating features reveal how some homes were equipped.
Useful to know
Check current admission, opening and any restricted areas with the operator.
Allow more time here than for the small monuments along Curetes Street.
