Asclepieion of Pergamon, Ancient Greek healing temple and theatre in Bergama, Turkey
The Asclepieion complex includes a 70-meter underground tunnel connecting the treatment center to pools in the sanctuary courtyard.
The first temple of Asclepius appeared in the 4th century BCE, reaching its peak during the 2nd century CE under Roman rule.
Patients underwent treatments combining water therapies, herbal remedies, and prophetic dream interpretations guided by temple physicians.
The site contains a rectangular courtyard surrounded by stoas, with the northern section displaying the best preservation state.
The theatre within the complex accommodated 3,500 spectators and served both medical and entertainment purposes for healing temple visitors.
