Bergama Unmissables

Bergama showcases a continuous timeline from the Hellenistic period to the Ottoman era. The Pergamon Acropolis contains the world’s steepest ancient theatre and the foundations of the Great Altar of Zeus. Nearby, the Asclepion served as a renowned medical center of the Roman world, while the Red Basilica reflects monumental Roman architecture dedicated to Egyptian deities. In the lower town, the 14th-century Grand Mosque and the Arasta bazaar represent the city’s Ottoman heritage, complemented by local finds in the Archaeological Museum.
