13. The Temple of Artemis, Ephesus, Turkey
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, dedicated to the goddess Artemis, was renowned as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The original temple was destroyed by a flood in the 7th century BCE and rebuilt around 550 BCE under the direction of the architect Chersiphron. In 356 BCE, the temple was set ablaze by Herostratus, an arsonist seeking fame. It was rebuilt again but faced further destruction during the Gothic invasion in 267 CE and was ultimately abandoned. Today, only foundations and fragments of the last temple remain at the site. (britannica.com)
