Library of Celsus
📍 Turkey
The Library of Celsus in Selçuk, Turkey, is an ancient Roman structure renowned for its grandeur. Intended to house 12,000 scrolls of parchment, it stands 38 meters tall and is considered one of the finest examples of its kind. Built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian in the early 2nd century AD, it is also one of the most visited places in the ancient city. Its façade bears an inscription dedicated to the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, who initiated its construction. The impressive doors, flanked by two female figures representing wisdom and knowledge, are especially worth noting. This ancient library, together with the nearby Temple of Artemis and the hilltop castle, is a must-see for visitors. When in Selçuk, don't forget to stop by and admire the Library of Celsus.
