Pergamon Altar, Ancient altar at Pergamon Museum, Germany.
The marble Pergamon Altar spans 36 meters in length and 34 meters in width, featuring intricate reliefs depicting mythological battles between gods and giants.
German archaeologist Carl Humann led excavations in the late 19th century, resulting in the transport of altar fragments from modern-day Turkey to Berlin.
The altar displays Hellenistic sculptural techniques through detailed friezes that represent the power struggle between Zeus, Athena, and their mythological opponents.
The north wing of the Pergamon Museum, containing the altar, remains closed for renovations until 2027, with a temporary exhibition available nearby.
The altar's marble reliefs maintain their original detail, allowing visitors to examine ancient Greek craftsmanship and architectural methods from the 2nd century BCE.
