House of the Virgin Mary

The House of the Virgin Mary, nestled on Mount Koressos near Ephesus, is a revered Christian and Muslim pilgrimage site. According to tradition, it is believed to be the final residence of the Virgin Mary, where she lived her last days under the care of St. John. Discovered in the 19th century based on the visions of a German nun, the modest stone structure reflects early Christian architecture. The site includes a chapel, a wishing wall, and a nearby spring, offering a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere for visitors.
