Selçuk is the central town of Selçuk district, İzmir Province in Turkey, 2 kilometres (1 mile) northeast of the ancient city of Ephesus. Its original Greek name, Agios Theologos (Άγιος Θεολόγος), referred to John the Theologian, because emperor Justinian had erected there a basilica in honour of the saint. Ayasoluk is a corrupted form of the original name.[3] In the 14th century, it was the capital of the Beylik of Aydin, and visited by Ibn Battuta. He noted, "The congregational mosque in this city is one of the most magnificent mosques in the world and unequaled in beauty."[4] Under the Ottoman Empire, it was known as Ayasoluk. In 1914, it was renamed Selçuk after the Seljuk Turks who first led incursions into the region in the 12th century.

It was a township in Kuşadası district till 1957, when it became a district itself. Its neighbours are Torbalı from north, Tire from northeast, Germencik from east, Kuşadası from south, Aegean Sea from west and Menderes (formerly Cumaovası) from northwest.

Selçuk is one of the most visited tourist destinations within Turkey, known for its closeness to the ancient city of Ephesus, House of the Virgin Mary and Seljuk works of art. The 6th century Basilica of St. John the Apostle, which, some claim, is built on the site of the Apostle's tomb, is also inside the town. Procopius said that the basilica was a most sacred and honoured place in Ephesus. It was severely damaged in the invasion of Selçuk Turks in 1090. The place was excavated in 1927, and Pope Paul VI paid it a visit and prayed there.[5]

In 1921, after the capture of the village by the Greek forces, the village had a total population of 600, ethnographically consisting of 580 Greeks, 10 Turks and 10 Armenians.[6] The old quarter of Selçuk retains much traditional Turkish culture. Ayasuluk Hill dominates the surrounding area, with several historical buildings on its slopes, including the İsa Bey Mosque built by the Aydinids in 1375, and the Grand Fortress.[citation needed] The hill itself is part of Ephesus UNESCO World Heritage Site.[7]

n Christianity, the Bible tell the story of seven men during Roman times who were imprisoned in a cave because of their religion.(The Quran also tells the story but does not mention how many sleepers there was and that a dog was included in the group.)

They woke nearly 200 years later without realizing how long they had slept and walked into the nearby city of Ephesus only to be amazed at how openly their religion had been accepted and was practiced. When they eventually died from natural causes, they were buried in the cave they had originally been imprisoned in.

The Basilica of St. John was a basilica in Ephesus. It was constructed by Justinian I in the 6th century. It stands over the believed burial site of John the Apostle. It was modeled after the now lost Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople.[1] The basilica is on the slopes of Ayasuluk Hill just below the fortress near the center of Selçuk, İzmir Province, Turkey and about 3.5 km (2.2 mi) from Ephesus.[2]

The House of the Virgin Mary (Turkish: Meryemana Evi or Meryem Ana Evi, "Mother Mary's House") is a Catholic shrine located on Mt. Koressos (Turkish: Bülbüldağı, "Mount Nightingale") in the vicinity of Ephesus, 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from Selçuk in Turkey.[1] The house was discovered in the 19th century by following the descriptions in the reported visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774–1824), a Roman Catholic nun and visionary, which were published as a book by Clemens Brentano after her death.[2] While the Catholic Church has never pronounced in favour or against the authenticity of the house, the site has nevertheless received a steady flow of pilgrimage since its discovery. Anne Catherine Emmerich was beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 3, 2004.

Catholic pilgrims visit the house based on the belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this stone house by Saint John and lived there for the remainder of her earthly life.[3][4]

The shrine has merited several papal Apostolic Blessings and visits from several popes including Paul VI, John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

I chose this song because of :”The Legend Of Hasan Drowned and Emine ”
According to the legend, they wanted to marry. A young man was from another place. Her family decided to testing him. The girl told the boy: "If you want to marry me, you should bring 40 sacks of salt to our mountain without ever getting it off."

Hasan loved her and accepted the condition to marry with Emine. He climbed the mountain with 40 sacks of salt . However, he sweated in the heat and the salt made deep wounds on his back. He realized that he can’t get out halfway and begged her to stop, Emine couldn’t stop, according to the legend , she climbed the mountain without looking back after a while, Emine constantly hears Hasan's cries in her ears and regrets not stopping. She went to the last place where Hasan begged her and started to looking for him. She founded his scarf but never found him . He drowned

Byzantine Greek: Θεολόγος, romanized: Theológos) is an ancient mound in İzmir Province in Turkey. It forms part of the Ephesus UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is home to a Byzantine fortress and the ruins of the Basilica of St John. It was reputedly the tomb of John the Apostle, the cousin and early disciple of Jesus who is thought to have written the Gospel of John on the site. It became the main settlement of Ephesus after the ancient town declined after the 7th century, following the onset of the Arab–Byzantine wars. The earliest archaeological remains at the site date to the Hittite era of the 2nd millennium BC, when the site was known as Apasa.[1] There is also evidence of some Mycenaean presence before the start of the Helladic period around 1050 BC.[1] The hill is known to be the original location of Ephesus, before it moved to a new location a few kilometers away.[2]

A mausoleum for St John was replaced by a basilica church on the site in the 5th century AD, but was damaged by earthquakes in the 6th century.[3] Egeria had planned to visit the church in the 4th century. It was then rebuilt by East Roman emperor Justinian the Great as a basilica in the 6th century.[3] The church was a domed cruciform basilica begun in 535/6; enormous and lavishly decorated, it was built in the same style as Justinian's Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople.[4][5] The basilica became one of the wonders of the medieval world, being constructed during a significant building programme which also included the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople and the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna.[6] The hill's medieval Greek name, Theologos, was derived from Άγιος Θεολόγος, Hagios Theológos, 'Holy Theologian', after the Apostle's title of 'St John the Theologian'.[7] The basilica took inspiration from the nearby Temple of Artemis.[citation needed]

The remains of a 2,130-foot (650 m) aqueduct branch built to supply the hill with water probably dates from Justinian's reign.[4][8]

Recent archaeology has shown that the town of Ephesus may have lost its importance already prior to the Muslim conquest of the Levant, with the silting up of its important harbour and the appearan

The city was famed for the nearby Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.[7] Among many other monumental buildings are the Library of Celsus, and a theatre capable of holding 25,000 spectators.[8]

Ephesus was one of the seven churches of Asia that are cited in the Book of Revelation.[9] The Gospel of John may have been written here.[10] The city was the site of several 5th-century Christian Councils (see Council of Ephesus). The city was destroyed by the Goths in 263, and although rebuilt, the city's importance as a commercial centre declined as the harbour was slowly silted up by the Küçükmenderes River. It was partially destroyed by an earthquake in AD 614. The ruins of Ephesus are a favourite international and local tourist attraction, partly owing to their easy access from Adnan Menderes Airport or from the cruise ship port of Kuşadası, some 30 km to the South.

It was added as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.

Hierapolis anseende som helig ort hade sitt ursprung i dess varma källor och en grotta, Plutonion eller Plutos grotta, från vilken dödliga gaser steg upp.[3]

Hierapolis kan ha grundats redan av en av Alexander den stores efterträdare för att falla i Eumenes II av Pergamons händer i samband med freden i Apameia 188 f.Kr. Hierapolis blev romerskt 133 f.Kr. Då testamenterade Attalus II av Pergamon sitt kungarike inklusive Hierapolis till Romarriket. Staden kom in i en blomstingsperiod som nådde kulmen under 100- och 200-talen e.Kr. efter att ha återuppbyggts efter en jordbävning 60 e. Kr.[2][4] De varma källorna användes också vid framställning av ull för att fixera färg.[2][4]

På platsen finns många lämningar både från hellenistisk och romersk tid, bland annat bad, tempelruiner, en begravningsplats, en monumental valvbåge och en välbevarad romersk teater.[1][2]

Efter kristendomens intåg och Konstantin II:s etablering av Konstantinopel som "nya Rom" år 330 blev staden ett biskopssäte. Aposteln Filippos led martyrdöden på platsen år 80 vilket bidrog till att Hierapolis blev ett viktigt religiöst centrum för det östromerska riket.[

Under tidigt 600-tal drabbades Hierapolis av en jordbävning som förstörde ett antal monument som aldrig återställdes. 700- till 900-talet betecknas till en början av en stark ekonomisk tillbakagång, hus och små kapell byggs ovanpå gamla ruiner och mot slutet av perioden påbörjas en ekonomisk återhämtning. 1071 erövrade seldjukerna större delen av Mindre Asien och staden förefaller inte ha tagit skada av det, däremot var staden mycket förstörd under det tredje korståget 1190 när Fredrik Barbarossa besökte staden till minne av aposteln Filippos.[4]

Hierapolis övergavs gradvis och när Osmanska riket fått makten över Mindre Asien var Hierapolis övergivet.[4]
