The Artemision, also known as the Temple of Artemis or Diana if you were Roman, was located in Ephesus. Today, only the foundations and fragments remain at the site, as by 401 AD, it had been destroyed several times.
The original temple was destroyed by a flood in the 7th century BC. Then, the reconstruction was attacked by an arsonist. The third rendition of the temple survived for 600 years, before finally being destroyed by John Chrysostom, the Archbishop of Constantinople.
