It is built over a 4th century church. 
The first church with his name was built over his grave some years after his death. 
So at least 3 structures have been at this location.

new discoveries are made.

Built in the first century, and is the likely location of
where the city clerk and others would have discussed the riot situation (Acts 19) before he
spoke to the crowd in the theater.

Celsus Library, Ephesus

Library of Celsus		 38 A beautiful structure build in the second century.
For the tour of following in Paul's footsteps ... this structure was not on location in Paul's time. 
The synagogue is also featured in this video as it's location was not too far from the the commercial Agora or market place. 
     
Ephesus Theatre

Theater
 39 The location of the riot in Acts 19.   It was large enough to hold 25,000 people. 
Paul wanted to address the crowd, but the disciples and officials would not let him. 
     
Visit Mary's House

House of Mary		 40 An Ephesus tradition indicates that this is the location where Mary spent her last years.
Jesus gave John instruction to take care of his mother and tradition says that
she came with him as he located in Ephesus. 
     
    A lovely day was had by all, and this visit was my favorite.  I hope to return there someday
 as so much of the site was missed.
For Example --
The Double Church of the Virgin Mary is located to what was then the harbor and is dated to the 2nd century.  It was the location of the 3rd Ecumenical Counsel at which the divine nature of Christ and Mary were discussed.
