Perched atop a hill in Bergama, the Acropolis of Pergamon is a remarkable testament to Hellenistic-era grandeur and one of Turkey's most iconic ancient sites. Once home to the second-largest library of the ancient world, rivaling Alexandria, Pergamon was also one of the Seven Churches of the Book of Revelation, adding deep historical and religious significance to its legacy.

Visitors can marvel at the steep theater of Pergamon, which remains one of the most vertiginous theaters in the world, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The Altar of Zeus, with its intricate friezes, highlights the artistic and religious achievements of the time, while the Temple of Trajan and the Temple of Dionysus reflect the city’s architectural brilliance.

With its rich tapestry of history, including its role as an ancient center of learning and spirituality, the Bergama Acropolis is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to explore Turkey’s cultural and historical heritage.

Bergama's Asclepion, an ancient sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius, the Greek god of healing, is a remarkable site where medicine, spirituality, and culture intertwined. This iconic center is closely tied to Galen, the father of pharmacy, whose groundbreaking contributions to medicine laid the foundation for modern healthcare. Visitors can explore the library, treatment rooms, and sleeping halls, where rituals, dream analysis, and therapeutic practices promoted holistic healing.

The Abaton, an underground tunnel, symbolized a transformative journey toward health and wellness, while the serene remains of the Temple of Asclepius reflect the sanctuary’s tranquil and restorative atmosphere.

Enhance your experience by asking your guide about traditional Anatolian cures, inspired by centuries of wellness practices rooted in this region. A visit to Bergama's Asclepion offers a unique glimpse into the ancient belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
