The Serzus Library is a architectural relics in the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus, Turkey. The two-story towering Ionian-style gatepost is its distinctive feature. It is tall and magnificent, and looks like a palace from afar. The library was built in memory of Anquila Sersus, son of the Roman ruler of Asia Minor in the second century, and the magnificent library was built on his mausoleum. The niches on the library wall contain about 30,000 volumes of books. There are also exquisite statues that symbolize kindness, thought, learning and wisdom. In the Roman Empire, the first library was the Alexandria Library in Egypt (Library of Alexandria), the second library was the Pagama Library in Turkey (Library of Pergamum), and the third library was the Sersus Library.
