  • Pergamon Ancient City

    Pergamum (Greek: Pergamon), an ancient Greek city in Mysia, is renowned for its historical and cultural significance. Situated about 16 miles from the Aegean Sea, this majestic city was built on a lofty hill overlooking the broad valley of the Caicus River (modern-day Bakır River). Today, the site is home to the modern town of Bergama, preserving the legacy of this once-great Hellenistic capital. Pergamum was celebrated for its impressive Acropolis, housing monumental structures like the Theater of Pergamon, Temple of Trajan, and its famed library, second only to Alexandria in the ancient world. Its innovative contributions to medicine are highlighted by the Sanctuary of Asclepius, one of the earliest known healing centers. A visit to Pergamum offers a captivating journey through history, blending ancient grandeur with the charm of modern Bergama.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • The Asklepion

    The Asclepion of Pergamum gained fame under Galen (131-210 AD), a renowned physician who studied medicine in Greece and Alexandria before returning to Pergamum. Here, he served as the doctor to the city’s gladiators and advanced medical practices, making the Asclepion a premier healing center of the ancient world. Upon entering the site, visitors walk along a monumental marble street, once a bustling market lined with shops on both sides. This ancient path reflects the daily life and commerce that flourished around the Asclepion. The Acropolis of Pergamum, perched majestically on a hilltop to the east, offers a stunning backdrop to this historical site. Today, the Asclepion stands as a testament to ancient medicine, spirituality, and architectural brilliance, inviting visitors to explore its sacred grounds and learn about its profound contributions to health and healing

  • Red Basilica (Kizil Avlu)

    The Red Basilica, also known as Kızıl Avlu in Turkish, is an impressive temple complex in Bergama built during the 2nd century AD. Dedicated to the Egyptian gods Serapis, Isis, and Harpocrates, it reflects the spread of Egyptian religion into the Roman Empire during this period. Originally faced with marble and surrounded by an elegant colonnade, the structure was far more opulent in Roman times. A unique feature of the site is the stream that ran beneath it, channeled through stone conduits for ritual bathing and ablutions, highlighting its religious and ceremonial significance. Today, the Red Basilica stands as a remarkable blend of Roman engineering and Egyptian influence, offering visitors a glimpse into the religious and cultural diversity of ancient Pergamum.

Pergamon and Asklepion come alive through Ibrahim's Stories!

Published on Feb, 2024

When the agency told me I will have a knowledgeable guide, he was right. Not only really knowledgeable, Ibrahim made sure the information is apt and appropriate to the guest with lots of stories in between, both fiction and historical. He knows his craft so much that the information is shared to me even on the road since the destinations are quite a distance from each other. His stories and information on Asklepion and Pergamon helped the place come alive that you really want to travel back in time to see how those things in the past happened. Ibrahim is able to answer questions and he is all the more encouraging me to ask more questions and he'd be ready to share an answer.

Pergamon Asklepion
