House of the Virgin Mary (Meryemana)
Selcuk, Izmir Province
A stone chapel on Bulbuldagi above Ephesus where a German nun's visions led to the discovery of a 1st-century house now honored by Catholics and Muslims alike as Mary's last home.
In 1891, following the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich, Lazarists found a ruined stone house on the ridge above Ephesus that matched her descriptions. It is now a chapel where Catholic and Muslim visitors pray side by side to Mary, whose sanctuary is tended by the Franciscans.
