Ephesus Terrace Houses - Ephesus Museum Tour
The heating system of the terrace houses were the same as that in baths. Clay pipes beneath the floors and behind the walls carried hot air through the houses. The houses also had cold and hot water. The rooms had no window, only illuminated with light coming from the open hall, so that most of the rooms were dim. The excavations of the terrace houses started in 1960. The restoration of the two of the houses have been finished and can be visited today.

Did you know that fact about Terrace Houses?
The restoration and protection of two Yamas Houses (Terrace Houses) and two settlement areas out of seven have been completed, said Ephesus excavation president Dr. Sabine Ladstaetter. The excavation and restoration works in Ephesus, where signs of inhabitants go back to 6000 B.C., uncovered a structure near the ancient theater as archaeological works there entered their 111th year. The ancient city was home to numerous magnificent structures, such as those in the region called Yamac Evler, dwellings thought to have been inhabited by wealthy families.

Ladstaetter said the Yamac Houses of Ephesus were built in a very luxurious way, at a press conference to make the completion of the restoration. While carrying out the excavations, the team has kept and protected the wall drawings, she added. The project, started in 2012, aims to protect and preserve the newly-founded Yamac Evleri‚ The Terrace Houses of Ephesus. (Among seven Yamac Houses two of them have been restored) said Ladstaetter, and added that these restorations were highly significant. Ladstaetter said there were a total of 78 rooms and different wall drawings in the houses. Among those wall drawings, eight have been resorted. The wall drawings are very important, according to Ladstaetter. These wall drawings start form the first century and continue to the third century. We can see them in one room, she said. In some of the rooms there were up to five drawings that had been drawn on each other at different times.
