The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was one the largest and most complicated temples built in ancient times. It stood on the west coast of what is now Turkey. The temple was entirely marble, except for its tile covered wooden roof. It was dedicated to the Greek goddess, Artemis. It had 106 columns and stood about four stories high.

The temple burned down in 356 BC and another one was built on the same foundation. The second temple was burnded down in AD 262. Only the foundation and parts of the second temple remain. The British Museum of London contains sculptures from the second temple.
