Pergamum was famous before, during and after Greek & Roman rule.
Pergamum was capital of the Kingdom in 281–133 BC. It was transformed into one of the major cultural cities of the Greek world. Many remains of its monuments can still be seen and especially the Pergamum Altar. The city was built on a series of terraces. The Acropolis emulated that of Athens and the Library was 2nd only to that of Alexandria (Egypt). Trajan reconstructed the city when it became allied with Rome and Hadrian declared it a metropolis. One of the seven churches of Peter is located there.
Amazing sites & fun guides
Super tour with Castle Travel! Our guide Yeliz took us from Izmir to the three main sites at Pergamon: the Asklepion, the Red Basilica, and the Akropolis. She had all kinds of interesting stories to tell about each of the sites and really brought them to life for us. I would go on a tour with her again in a second. She was great to hang out with, as were our guide-in-training, Mustafa and our driver Umet. Pickup was right on time. Yeliz knew some great local places to stop for lunch and tea, and clued us in regarding local culture as well as the amazing sites of Pergamon. Highly recommended!
