Ephesus submitted by pab on 27th Feb 2010. Ephesus: Library of Celsus. The facade visible today is a restoration undertaken beyween 1970 and 1978 - the library fabric having been discovered in excavations in 1904.
(Which is presumably why the library seems to be absent from the aerial photo taken in 1967 used on the Information Panel for the Terraced Houses?)
