Now, we do not have exact pictures of the temple of Diana, as its usually called, but what you see above is a model of this temple which was erected in Turkey. Constructed in 556 BC in ancient Ephesus, it was re-built 3 times before its final destruction in 356 BC by fire. I guess the goddess would have loved this new temple built in Turkey to the ancient one…who really does not like good things?
