The Basilica of St. John in Ephesus is a monumental site in early Christian history. Built in the 6th century by Byzantine Emperor Justinian, it marks the burial site of St. John, one of Jesus' twelve apostles and the author of "The Gospel of John." The church featured six domes supported by twelve columns, with St. John's tomb at its center. It also includes a 4th-century baptistery, notable for its intricately designed door.

In the 7th century, the Basilica became the Episcopal Church as Ephesus’s inhabitants moved to Ayasuluk. Nearby, Ayasuluk Castle offers a glimpse into the region’s layered history, with restored towers, city walls, and Ottoman-era ruins. This site is a must-visit for its rich religious and architectural heritage.
