For the Past, Present, and Future of the Ancient City of Ephesus…

The Ephesus Foundation was established in 2010 with the aim of preserving the Ancient City of Ephesus, one of the most significant historical values of Turkey and a part of the world cultural heritage, and promoting the region worldwide. As the Ephesus Foundation, through the archaeological excavations we have completed in collaboration with the Austrian Archaeological Institute (ÖAW) at the Ancient City of Ephesus, we contribute to the preservation of our cultural heritage, its transmission to future generations, and thereby increasing awareness of our historical and cultural values.
