Skolasticia Baths
These are on the north side of Curates Avenue between Trajan's Fountain and the Temple to
Hadrian. The baths were three stories high and
was one of the largest buildings of its kind in Ephesus. There were two entrances, one from Curates' Avenue and the other from a street on
the eastern side. Both entrances opened onto the
street in an "L" shape. The apsidal room had
columns and niches, in one of which was a statue
of Christian
Scholastica,
the last to have the baths restored, around 400
AD. The baths were first built in the 1st
century and last restored in the 4th. |
