This is one of the more thoroughly reconstructed bits of Ephesus in Turkey. The people in charge of the place only rebuild a structure if they have enough pieces and enough sense of where they originally went to be confident of what they’re showing you; this one is obviously still missing quite a bit, but you can get a good sense of what the temple looked like back in the day.

I even know about Hadrian (well, not that there were temples to him in Turkey, I'm no historian) and I initially read this as "Temple of Harridan."

I hate my brain so much sometimes...

Heheheh. They are disobedient things, brains.
