Looking west, view of the cella towards the west porch of the Ionic Temple of Artemis. Sardis, Sart, Turkey. Entrance to the temple was on the west side due to the landscape. The construction of Greek temple was started around 300 BC and construction dragged on into three different phases with changes to its plan over time during the Hellenistic and Roman eras until the mid-2nd century AD. The temple was never actually completed and only 2 of the original 82 planned columns are fully standing. The temple is the fourth largest Ionic temple in the world and one of the seven largest of all Greek Temples.
