In the below picture I am standing at the entrance to one of the oldest and most famous of all cities of the ancient world.

What country am I in? 10,000 points to the first correct guess but only ONE guess per username please.

The country was already correctly guessed. That's the Library of Celsus in Ephesus.
Just about every single documentary on ancient Greece and Romans shows it because Ephesus was also the site of the Temple of Artemis.

Guess I do not have to explain anything this week beause you have brilliantly said it all. Too bad you saw it too late...

Yes, Turkey is correct but do no mention this to a person from Greece.


CONGRATULATIONS!!


I was thinking of using Troy which would have not been so easy to identify!! Not now, anyway.

Thanks.... I think this has been one of the very few that I had a slight idea about, then your clues helped
