A Museum stop before going to Basilica of St. John is located near Ephesus.
In Selçuk, east of Ephesus, on Ayasoluk Hill, stands the restored Basilica of St. John (St. Jean Aniti), containing the tomb of the apostle. Near the entrance to the basilica is the Ephesus Museum, with two statues of Artemis and marvelous frescoes and mosaics.
In the court yard, architectural fragments, grave steels, relieves, capitals and epitaphs are displayed. There is a sarcophagus brought from the Belvi mausoleum, busts of Hermes and Bes, sundial, bronze statuette of Eros and Dofen are in the centre of the courtyard. Byzantine mosaic, an Amazon sarcophagus and relieves from the Temple of Domitian are located in the backyard.
