Pergamon, Archaeological site in Bergama, Turkey
The Pergamon Acropolis extends across multiple terraced levels on a hilltop, featuring temples, a theater, and administrative structures built of local stone.
During the Hellenistic period in the 3rd century BC, the Attalid dynasty transformed Pergamon into their capital, constructing monumental buildings on the acropolis.
The Pergamon Library contained thousands of parchment scrolls, making it the second largest collection of ancient texts after the Library of Alexandria.
Visitors can reach the acropolis via a cable car from the lower station on Akropol Street, with services running daily from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
The 10,000-seat theater, built into the steep hillside, features a royal box and stands as the steepest theater construction of the ancient world.
