The Library of Celsus was an impressive ancient library in the city of Ephesus. It was built in the 2nd century AD in honor of the Roman senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus. The library was known for its impressive architecture and its collection of over 12,000 scrolls. The building had two floors and was decorated with statues and reliefs. Unfortunately, over time the library was damaged and largely destroyed by earthquakes and fires. However, some parts of the facade have been preserved and can still be admired today. The Celsus Library is a popular destination for visitors interested in ancient history.
