It no longer stands, but it's considered one of the 7 ancient wonders of the world, being said to be twice the size of the Parthenon in Athens. It's intricacy is wondrous, and is described by Pliny, as 377 feet (115 meters) long and 180 feet (55 meters) wide, made almost entirely of marble, making its area about three times as large as the Parthenon. The temple's cella was enclosed in colonnades of 127 Ionic columns each 60 feet (18 meters) in height.The Temple of Artemis was located near the ancient city of Ephesus, about 75 km south from the modern port city of İzmir, in Turkey.
