The ancient city of Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Izmir, western Türkiye, has reopened for evening visits as part of a night museum program.
As part of the night museum initiative carried out by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the ancient city will welcome visitors between 7 P.M. and 10 P.M. Visitors will be asked to leave the site by 11 P.M.
The initiative was launched to allow visitors to explore the ancient city during the cooler hours of the day. Important areas such as the Library of Celsus, Agora Square, Curetes Street, the Temple of Domitian, the ancient theater and the Terrace Houses are enhanced with special lighting.
In addition, the projection show that began last year on the façade of the Library of Celsus will continue this season. The night museum program at the ancient city will run until Oct. 1.
Meanwhile, many people attended the first day of the night museum program, waiting for the lights to be switched on to take photographs of the illuminated site.
