    Pergamon Ancient City - Pergamon Acropolis - Pergamon Museum - Asklepeion Daily Tour

    Pergamon Ancient City: Long before the Hellenes, Pelasgians and Luwians lived in Western Anatolia. The name of the settlement, which became Pergamon in the Hellenic language, means fortified position . We know very little about the settlement history of Early Pergamon before the Kingdom period, and this shows us that Pergamon did not have a super-regional importance before the 3rd century BC. As its name indicates, its being very suitable for defense would offer it a bright future in the Hellenistic period.

    Pergamon Ancient City: Long before the Hellenes, Pelasgians and Luwians lived in Western Anatolia. The name of the settlement, which became Pergamon in the Hellenic language, means fortified position . We know very little about the settlement history of Early Pergamon before the Kingdom period, and this shows us that Pergamon did not have a super-regional importance before the 3rd century BC. As its name indicates, its being very suitable for defense would offer it a bright future in the Hellenistic period. In the wars that broke out between Alexanders successors after his death, Lysimachus captured the Mysia region, which also included Pergamon, starting in 301 BC. Lysimachus general Phileteros, who guarded a large part of the war booty he obtained in Pergamon, was a loyal governor to him for twenty years, and after his death, he declared himself the ruler of Pergamon, laying the foundations of the most magnificent Hellenistic Kingdom of Western Anatolia. His successors, II. The Pergamon Kingdom, which experienced its brightest period during the reigns of Eumenis and Attalos II, dominated a large part of Western Anatolia and reached the peak of its power and borders. The fascinating Zeus Altar, the legendary Pergamon Library and parchment emerged during this period, and great advances were made in architecture, sculpture, medicine and pharmacy. The last and speculative king of Pergamon, Attalos III, bequeathed his kingdom, along with all the lands he ruled, to the Roman people in order to recognize and protect the existing balance of power that was difficult to maintain, and his country now became part of the Roman Province of Asia.
    The main structures and building ruins seen today in the Pergamon Acropolis, where archaeological excavations first began in 1878, are as follows: Heroon (Monumental Hero Tomb) , City Walls and Gates, Propylon (Monumental Gate) , Athena Sanctuary, Eumenis Palace, Attalos Palace, Library, Trajan Temple, Theatre, Dionysus Temple, Zeus Altar, Agora , etc.
    The Ancient City of Pergamon was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014 .

    Pergamon Museum: The vast majority of the archaeological artifacts exhibited in the Pergamon Museum are artifacts found in the excavations carried out in the Acropolis, Asklepeion, Red Courtyard (Serapeion), and Musalla Cemetery. In addition to these, artifacts were unearthed in the ancient cities of Pitane (Çandarlı), Myrina (Güzelhisar), Gryneion (Yeni Şakran) in the vicinity of Pergamon, in the Kestel and Yortanlı (Allionai) Dam Rescue excavations, and in the archaeological site of Dikili Çandarlı in the center of Pergamon. The chronology in the exhibit covers a wide time period starting from the Bronze Age until the end of the Ottoman period.

    Asklepeion: Asklepeions are healing centers consecrated in the name of the God of Medicine Asklepeios in the Hellenic world. In addition to the dream and suggestion treatment frequently applied in these centers, folk medicine practices were also performed. According to the information provided by the Lydian traveler and geographer Pausanias, who lived in the late 2nd century AD, regarding the establishment of the Asklepeion of Pergamon, one of the distinguished people of the region, Arkhias, was injured while hunting on Mount Pindasos (Madra) and when he could not find a physician to treat him in Pergamon, he went to Greece and received treatment in the Asklepeion of Epidauros. Satisfied with his treatment, Arkhias wanted to establish such a treatment center in his hometown of Pergamon upon his return, and thus, around 370 BC, he ensured the establishment of the Asklepeion of Pergamon with the asclepiads (priests-physicians) he brought from Epidauros and Kos (Istanköy). The end of the bright period of Pergamon Asklepeion, one of the three most important centers of the ancient world, came with the earthquake that severely damaged Pergamon in 262 AD. During that period, Christianity's increasing strength and its fierce struggle against pagan beliefs brought about the end of Pergamon Asklepeion.
    The main structures and building ruins seen today in Pergamon Asklepeion Archaeological Site, where archaeological excavations were first carried out between 1900-1913, are as follows: Sacred Way, Propylon (Monumental Entrance) , Asklepeios Temple, Library, Columned Gallery, Theater, Dream-Suggestion Rooms, Spa Building, etc.
