Perched in the hills of modern-day Bergama, the ancient city of Pergamon reflects the grandeur and ingenuity of ancient Anatolia.

A thriving cultural, political, and religious center during the Hellenistic period, Pergamon was renowned for its monumental architecture and artistic achievements.

The city’s Acropolis dominates the landscape, offering sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. This hilltop citadel once housed the famous Altar of Zeus, the Library of Pergamon, and grand temples dedicated to various deities.

Pergamon also featured a sophisticated urban layout, complete with an advanced water supply system and the steepest theatre of the ancient world, capable of seating 10,000 spectators.
