Ephesus
Located at the mouth of what was once the Kastros River, Ephesus consisted of Greek and Roman settlements that retreated westwards along the coastline and were established in new locations. Excavations have revealed magnificent monuments from the Roman Empire, including the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre. The famous Temple of Artemis, one of the "Seven Wonders of the World", attracted pilgrims from all over the Mediterranean, but few remains of the site. Since the 5th century, the House of the Virgin Mary - a domed cross-shaped church - located seven kilometers from Ephesus has been a major site of Christian pilgrimage. The ancient city of Ephesus is an outstanding example of a Roman port city, complete with a waterway and a harbor basin.
Works of Antoni Gaudí
Seven buildings built by the architect Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) in or near Barcelona bear witness to his outstanding creative contribution to the development of architecture and building techniques in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These buildings represent an eclectic and very personal style, which was given free rein in terms of gardens, sculptures and all the decorative arts, as well as architectural design. The seven buildings are: Park Güell; Palau Güell; Casa Milà; Casa Vicens; Gaudí's work on the Nativity façade and crypt of the Sagrada Família; Casa Batlló; and the crypt of the Colonia Güell.
