House of the Virgin Mary

The Virgin Mary spent her last days in Ephesus, Turkey.

Driving up to the location, you will see a large Virgin Mary statue. The statue faces a beautiful view of the ancient ruins of Ephesus in the distance.

The building is a modest chapel. Outside, you can write your wishes and use water from the same source as the Virgin Mary. If you don't want to buy the "holy water" from the souvenir shop, you can bring your own bottle and fill it at the tap there.

I purchased my cross from the souvenir shop there.
