Angeline Yang.

Located in the ancient city of Ephesus, a world heritage site, it was a public building during the Roman Empire, when it was a large library. The entire wall building remains intact, the stone carving art is exquisite and gorgeous, the characters are lifelike and one of the attractions worth visiting. The library was named after the father's name "Celsus" at the time of the Governor's then. After his death, the son built such a large library to commemorate his father. Built in 100-110 AD, it was actually built on the tomb of the deceased. The double-wall design provides insulation to prevent moisture from eroding books. The book with papyrus and parchment is about 12,000 volumes. It is the third largest library in the ancient world. From 1970 to 1978, the library re-decorated and repaired according to the original shape. I am deeply attracted by its stone carving art, beautiful and gorgeous, the characters are lifelike, I think that when I read books in this artistic place, I must be very happy!
