AEGEAN REGION
The Terrace Houses, in Ephesus

A group of private residences inhabited from the 1st to
6th centuries AD, the Terrace Houses were brought to
light in excavations carried out since the 1980s. Along
with those in Pompeii, they constitute some of the most
vivid examples of Roman domestic architecture to
survive to the present. Routine tourism is not allowed,
but the houses can be visited by permission of the director
of Ephesus Museum. Household items and artwork found
at the Terrace Houses are on display in Hall I of same museum.
