Pergamum, Greek Pergamon, ancient Greek city in Mysia, situated 16 miles from the Aegean Sea on a lofty isolated hill on the northern side of the broad valley of the Caicus (modern Bakır) River. The site is occupied by the modern town of Bergama,
The Acropolis of Pergamum (Pergamon) is certainly dramatic, perched atop a high, steep-sided hill to the northeast of the modern city center
The great temples and dramatic theater are visible from anywhere in the city, as they were meant to be.
Follow the signs to the Akropolis. From the Bergama Museum at the center of Bergama, it’s over 5 km (3 miles) to the top of the hill along a narrow road that winds around the hill. A gate near the bottom of the hill is closed during the night to prevent access to the site.
the Asclepion of Pergamum became famous under Galen (131-210 AD), a local physician who pursued his medical studies in Greece and Alexandria (Egypt) before settling here as doctor to Pergamum’s gladiators.From the parking lot and entrance (TL15), where there are shops and snack-and-drink stands, you walk along a monumental marble street bordered
This was once an active market street, with shops lining both sides of the street. The acropolis of Pergamum is clearly visible on its hilltop to the east
Bergama‘s Red Hall (Kızıl Avlu) or Red Basilica (map) was built for worship of the Egyptian gods Serapis, Isis andHarpocrates at a time in the 2nd century AD when Egyptianreligion was reaching into the Roman Empire.
