You're standing at what's left of the Temple of Artemis, just outside the town of Selçuk in Turkey. Let's be honest: there isn't much. A single column, pieced together from fragments found on the site. But take a moment to picture what once stood here. This was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the largest temple of its day.
