The Library of Celsus is considered an architectural marvel, and is one of the only remaining examples of great libraries of the ancient world located in the Roman Empire. It was the third-largest library in the Greco-Roman world behind only those of Alexandria and Pergamum, believed to have held around 12,000 scrolls. Tiberius Julius Celsus for whom the library is named, is buried in a crypt beneath the library in a decorated marble sarcophagus. The interior measured roughly 180 square metres (2,000 square feet).
Apostle Paul preached in that area for two years, baptized people, used mightily by God to heal and cast put demons by special miracles.
Acts 19:11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
The interior of the library and its contents were destroyed in a fire that resulted either from an earthquake or a Gothic invasion in 262 AD. Everyone left this place by 800 AD. Silt, dirt and vegetation later covered this place. The entire area was rediscovered in 1903 and escavated or rebuilt around 1980.
