Curetes Street, Ephesus, Turkey — This 210-meter marble-paved avenue connected the Library of Celsus to the Upper Agora, lined with shops, temples, fountains, and honorary statues. The raised sidewalks, drain channels beneath the marble pavers, and intact mosaic thresholds reveal the sophisticated urban planning of Roman Ephesus.
