A nothing special burial apart from the fact that it is the place where John the Apostle is buried. 1. You can see series of pillars and a model illustrating how it should look like at the time it is constructed. 2. Bring your camera and definitely go visit there if you are really a great fan of religion. 3. Enjoy :)

(Translated by Google) St. John's Church is a church dedicated to the apostle John the Apostle who did not have the martyrdom. It was built around the tomb of John in the 4th century, and Emperor Justinian of Byzantine in the 6th century was extended to six domes. The church is located on the hill of Ayasluk, and it also offers a great view of the city, such as the Isabay Mosque and the Temple of Artemis. (Original) 성요한교회는 성모 마리아를 모시고 셀축에 와서 살았고, 유일하게 순교하지 않은 제자 사도요한을 기리기 위한 교회이다. 4세기경 요한의 무덤이 있던 자리에 세워졌는데 6세기 비잔틴의 유스티아누스 황제가 6개의 돔으로 증축했다. 교회는 아야슬룩 언덕에 자리하고 있어, 이사베이 모스크, 아르테미스 신전 등 시가지 한눈에 들어오는 멋진 경치를 보여주기도 한다.

It does not get as much attention as the Ephesus archaeological site, but this is a magnificent castle. It has been undergoing renovation for 13 years, and the views and the breezes from the top are amazing.

It was quite an experience to see St. John's tomb and the ruins of the basilica. The ruins date back to biblical times and are well preserved while some are partially restored. There was an entrance fee of 50 TL, but absolutely worth it to walk around such holy ground and admire the view of Ephesus. I would recommend going with a guide.

A huge area comprising the remains of the former Basilica of St John and the resting place of the apostle. There is so much of the basilica that has been preserved or put back together, that it is a pleasure to wander around the remains and see the model of what it was like in one piece. The bonus is the great panoramic view of the city beneath, as the basilica is located on top of a hill. Well priced entry, and well maintained site. Just watch out for the locals at the entrance trying to sell you 'ancient coins' they say they have found, who knows what they really are!

Good place to visit, there are a lot of pieces of the original place on the ground. It's recommended to have additional information when visiting it, as the 90% is destroyed and there are only pieces here and there and it's hard to imagine how it was in the past. The ticket includes the castle and the basilic

We came here just before closing. The ruins aren’t as magnificent as Ephesus. Sadly couldn’t visit the castle because we came late. A great place for sunset photos because it’s less busy.

St. John's Basilica in Ephesus is a breathtaking sight! The historical significance and architectural brilliance leave you in awe. A serene and spiritual journey amidst a beautiful setting. Don't miss out on this captivating landmark when you're in Turkey. Highly recommended!

Eine beindruckende historische Anlage zu Füssen der Burg. Es wird stetig weitergearbeitet und wer nach ein paar Jahren wieder hierherkommen sollte, wird genauso, wie in Ephesus staunen, wie sehr es sich entwickelt. Der Blick über die Stadt und die grüne Landschaft ist sehr schön. Im Mai kann man ausserdem die Störche mit ihren Jungen beobachten. Wunderbares Naturereignis.

The presence of the Apostle is tangible. Extraordinary place to pray and connect with the last living witness of the Lord.

Really enjoyed our trip here, and contrary to a post I read online which stated that it was a 1.6 km walk up a hill, this was not at all the case for us, as we were able to park very conveniently in the car park located just outside the entrance, for 25 lira. It was an interesting visit through the ruins of the church, with the baptistery still intact. You can also walk up to the Ayasoluk Castle at the top of the hill, but recommend this only for those of you with steady mountain goat legs! This is accessed by walking through the St John's Basilica Church. There is also a teashop halfway up for refreshments and souvenirs. This place is well worth a visit, set aside a couple of hours for this at least. We went in mid April and it was beautiful, filled with blossom of all kinds, lilac and other flowers. Down the hill in Selcuk also has some nice ordinary Turkish restaurants and shops you can visit also.

The MUST VISIT place in Selcuk. I visited Ephesus in the morning, and here in the afternoon. Unlike Ephesus, this place is not crowded at all. This is the place where you can feel the pure atmosphere of the ancient ruins without any interruption. Plus, the view from the roof of Selcuk is breathtaking.

Very surreal! As Christian believer, it was wonderful to know that the apostle had stepped, or even buried in that same place. Also the Virgin Mary had come to the place. We went there just before the sunset, and it was very nice as it’s on a hilltop.

It's very touristy, but one can easily get in and see everything in about 20 minutes.

Very well preserved and full of history. Only downside for a tourist without a tour guide might be the lack of direction but it's easy to overcome once you figure out the main way. Overall, a great historic site, recommended.

(Translated by Google) A cultural site, a must for history lovers. It is advisable to organize a guide beforehand. Otherwise, it is also very impressive what you did back then. There are individual boards with explanations in Turkish and English. There is a free parking lot in front of the door. Entry per person 25 TL, reasonable. (Original) Eine Kulturstätte, für Geschichtsliebende ein Muß. Es empfiehlt sich einen Führer vorher zu organisieren. Ansonsten ist es auch so sehr beeindruckend, was man damals geschafft hat. Einzelne Tafeln mit Erklärung in türkisch und englisch sind vorhanden. Einen kostenlosen Parkplatz gibt es vor der Tür. Eintritt pro Person 25 TL, angemessen.

Pretty incredible experience to visit the tomb of St John. Large site to tour and low cost.

Basilica of Saint John is located in Ephesus. Built by Justinian in 6th century...

Restoration work is in progress. Should keep up and speed up the process. There is a castle here explained some historical fact.

Absolutely one of the best places to visit in Selcuk because of the original stuff and good view but I’m not sure that many people can find the real meaning of this place. There should be more signs with exact informations.

The Basilica of St. John was a basilica in Ephesus. It was constructed by Justinian I in the 6th century. It stands over the believed burial site of John the Apostle. It was modeled after the now lost Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople : from Google. Located in Ephesus and you would see a tomb of ST John and overlooking at the very first one of temple of Artemis from far. The remains slid the churches and some of the ruins remains at site. 30 mins to get this tour completed.

Although I don't prefer ruins, this site was great. It's very big and worth visiting

If you have a chance, go. Devine, I was so glad to visit the place where John the Apostle lived to look around and see the mountains and sky he once looked at. Ruins that survived hundreds of years. We tour on our own the ticket was part of a package we purchased at the entrance of the Ruins of The Library of Celsus Ephesos at that time the price was about 20 euros and included; Ephesus Archeological site, Ephesus Museum, The Basílica/ ST. JEAN ANITI, and the House of Mary.

Good interesting site, its info signs need renewing though. Also the stone path from the church to the castle has steps that are very easy to trip over in both directions, very dangerous, watch out!

(Translated by Google) It is a clean and meticulously preserved ruin place with its meticulous restoration and ongoing studies. I would love to see the original state of the building. It is installed on a very large area. It's worth to be seen (Original) Özenle yapılmış restorasyonu ve devam eden çalışmaları ile temiz ve titizlikle korunmuş bir ören yeri. Yapının orjinal halini görmeyi çok isterdim çok büyük bir alana kurulu. Görülmeye değer

(Translated by Google) I think it will be the 8th wonder of the world after the restoration is over. (Original) Resteration bittikten sonra dünyanın 8. harikası olur diye düşünüyorum.

Very peaceful at 12pm on Sunday. Not very many people walking around the site. You can also walk to the castle through here but we didn't go as it didn't seem like much to see. You can easily socially distance due to how empty it is. Plus it has a nice view of the column.

(Translated by Google) It is a must-see place in Selcuk. Müzekart is valid. Entry without a card was supposed to be $ 25. (Original) Selçukta mutlaka görülmesi gereken bir yer. Müzekart geçerli. Kartsız giriş 25 ₺ olması gerekiyordu.

Beautiful historical place. It's better to go there with a tour guide so that you fully understand the story of the place. Beware of the ancient coins scammers. They hang around at the entrance and try to sell coins that they claim are ancient but they're actually fake.

This is a great look into the past. Some of the ruins have been "restored" but not much so you get to imagine what it was like. The marble paths are slick even without being wet.

Beautiful active archeological site. Be prepared for uneven walking surfaces.

Historic Biblical place to visit. When visiting ancient Ephesus you should make the stop here!! See where the beloved apostle of Jesus is buried. Walk the same grounds where John, a disciple of Christ, once walked. The scribe of Revelation is buried here.

Great place full of history. It is great place to explore and checkout the ruins from 6th century. Signage in the area can be better. I personally enjoyed the walking around the entire complex, but if someone is short on time then you can pass.

Go first thing in the morning. No crowds & you will have the opportunity to take as many photos as you want.

Breathtaking when you consider the history and workmanship. Don't miss it is you are near Selcuk.

I've been there more than 10 times, every season. It's not about visiting it's about vibes.

Well preserved with a really historical feel, great in Winter as there's only a handful of visitors.

Fantastic place with thousands of years of history, one can spend hours walking through ruins of ancient gates, pillars, stones, tombs, fig trees and a magnificent castle.

This place consists of 2 different things. There is the basilica and the castle on the top of the mountain. When you enter here, it also gives you access to the castle. It's not very clearly marked though. I feel it's interesting to see, but the castle part is more interesting and have nicer views

(Translated by Google) Only a few columns and some ruins are visible. The place is quite large, which is why the guides follow a pre-established itinerary but can also be accessed independently. It is difficult to imagine the original form from the few artifacts that have survived over the years but there are some detailed illustrations that give the idea. It has been a few years since I saw this place but I think nothing has changed since then also because there is nothing else to be found and the maintenance is limited to the conservation of what can be seen. A nice curiosity is the presence of storks in the immediate vicinity. (Original) Sono visibili solo alcune colonne e qualche rudere. Il luogo è abbastanza ampio motivo per cui le guide percorrono un itinerario prestabilito ma si può accedere anche autonomamente. È difficile immaginare la forma originale dai pochi reperti che sono sopravvissuti nel corso degli anni però ci sono alcune dettagliate illustrazioni che rendono l'idea. Sono passati alcuni anni da quando ho visto questo luogo ma credo che non sia cambiato nulla da allora anche perché non c'è altro da rinvenire e la manutenzione si limita alla conservazione di quello che si può vedere. Una simpatica curiosità è la presenza di cicogne nelle immediate vicinanze.

(Translated by Google) Where John's tomb was. Many important points (Original) 요한의 무덤이 있던 곳. 중요 포인트가 많은 곳

Amazing history, although I recommend getting a tour guide or audio guide of some sort as the information boards are quite limited. Amazing views from the cafe and a short walk uphill to the citadel 🏰 be careful about the heat, there aren't many places with shade.

This is basically in ruins but the 3D model of the place around provided a true picture of how Ephesus operated and the exact locations of nearly all related structures help you understand history a bit better and makes you visualize how things would have been there at that time in history.

Really good place to look at. Lots of interesting things. Check it out along with Ephesus tour

What an honor to be at a historic place! Fascinating stories, seeing his tomb, the baptism location, and treasury.

Large ruin of early cathedral, quite imposing in what would have been its size. With the flowers growing around it, the site is rather beautiful.

Nice place to visit just dont spend match time over there I guess between 1 or 2 hours max.

This former Greek orthodox church has been converted into a mosque. Very beautiful, it is the old town.

Nice place to explore. There are so much thing to see and admire. Take your time and enjoy every corner. You can sit under the tree too.

Lovely to see. Enjoyed the views from the castle.

(Translated by Google) It was a very beautiful building and must be seen with the castle (Original) Çok güzel bir yapiydi kaleyle birlikte mutlaka görülmeli

Not much left, but you can still get a sense of how grand it must have been.

It was built over the tomb of St. John the beloved Apostle of Jesus, who was present at crucification

(Translated by Google) A UNESCO site, included in the territory of ancient Ephesus, along with the remains of the temple of Artemis. Paid entrance. Work is underway on the territory - excavations, restoration. There are information stands in two languages, Turkish and English. There is a cafe with a souvenir department and free toilets. I liked wandering there, there are many interesting objects. (Original) Объект ЮНЕСКО, входит в территорию древнего Эфеса вместе с остатками храма Артемиды. Вход платный. На территории ведётся работа - раскопки, реставрация. Есть информационные стенды, на двух языках, турецком и английском. Есть кафе с сувенирным отделом и бесплатными туалетами. Бродить там понравилось, много интересных объектов.

(Translated by Google) The ruins of the church that sometimes read John and sometimes Jean. The high walls in the picture were fine. The rest are not that high. The treasure room seems to be there. Since it is in the same place as the castle, both of them can be entered with a single fee or museum card. It is worth entering. (Original) İçinde bazen John bazen Jean yazan kilise kalıntısı. Resimdeki yüksek duvarları iyidi. Geri kalanlar o kadar yüksek değil. Hazine odası felan duruyor. Kaleye ile aynı mekanda olduğu için ikisine tek ücretle ya da müze kartla giriliyor. Girmeye değer.

(Translated by Google) The site of St. John, who brought the Holy Virgin Mary from Jerusalem. It is in Selcuk Castle and it is worth seeing, just below isabey mosque, if you look across you will see Ephesus ancient city. There is Sirince village 3 km above (Original) Kutsal Meryemana’yı Kudüs’ten getiren Aziz Yahya’nın mekanı. Selcuk kalesinde ve bence görülmeye değer, hemen altında isabey camii var , karşıya bakarsanız Efes antik kentini göreceksiniz. 3 km yukarıda Sirince köyü var

(Translated by Google) A very cool place to visit if you come to Turkey. (Original) Очень крутое место, которое надо посетить если вы приехали в Турцию.

(Translated by Google) It is rumored that the Apostle St Jean, who is an important person for Christians, was buried here. It looks like the ancient city of Sardes in Manisa with its red stone architecture. (Original) İceri müzekartla girilebiliyor ve aynı zamanda Selçuk Kalesinide gezebiliyorsunuz.Hıristiyanlar için önemli birisi olan Havari St Jean ın burada gömüldüğü rivayet edilir.Kızık taş mimarisyle Manisadaki Sardes antik kentine cik benziyor.Yalnız yukarıya Kale yolu cok yoruyor ,yanınızda su olmasına dikkat edin..

(Translated by Google) A place not to be seen in Selcuk on a dominant hill (Original) Hakim bir tepede selcukta görülmeden gidikmemesi gereken bir yer

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing to visit. (Original) Ziyarete görülmeye değer.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting place where the vestige of this old basilica was partially restored and where we learn a lot about the history of the beginnings of the Christian religion. (Original) Endroit très intéressant où le vestige de cette ancienne basilique fût partiellement restauré et où l'on en apprend beaucoup sur l'histoire des prémices de la religion chrétienne.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful archaeological museum located just below the Seljuk castle, to the Artemis temple, the Isa bey mosque. It is in the same location as the Saint Jean church. A history worth seeing. A church that is a baptism place for great people who took part in the transition period of people to Christianity. The treasury has also stood still. (Original) Artemis tapınağına, İsa bey camisine, Selçuklu kalesinin hemen aşağısında yer alan güzel bir ören müze. Saint Jean kilisesi ile aynı mevkide zaten. Görülmeye değer bir tarih. İnsanların hristiyanlığa geçiş döneminde yer almış büyük insanlar için vaftiz yeri olan bir kilise. Hazine dairesi de yıkılmadan durmuş.

(Translated by Google) I visited the basilica years ago. Much has changed since then. They have done the restoration very well. It has been a historical complex worth seeing. I strongly recommend you to see it. (Original) Bazilikayı yıllar önce ziyaret etmiştim. O zamandan bugüne çok şey değişmiş. Restorasyonunu çok güzel yapmışlar. Görülmeye değer bir tarihi kompleks olmuş. Mutlaka görmenizi tavsiye ederim.

Big Church

(Translated by Google) As for Selçuk, this was my favorite place. Everywhere is full of history. You will feel it until your buttonholes. It is very clean and its historical importance is preserved here. You will see the Küçük Menderes plain completely from here to Pamucak Beach. Be sure to go to the old cellars and discover the Christian traditions. (Original) Selçuk a gelince en sevdiğimbuer burası oldu. Her yer tarih dolu. Bunu iliklerinize kadar hissedeceksiniz. Gayet temiz ve tarihi önem korunmuş burada. Küçük Menderes ovasını tamamen görüceksiniz burdan hatta Pamucak Sahiline kadar .. Mutlaka gidin eski mahzenler , Hristiyan geleneklerini keşfedebilirsiniz.
