View of the Asklepieion. These columns are part of the temenos of Asklepios,
the so-called red courtyard, which was linked to the acropolis of Pergamon.
The Middle City: Immediately below the acropolis lies the middle
city of Pergamon. Excavations are still in progress here. Among the
buildings unearthed thus far are the Temple of Hera Basileia, which
was built during the reign of Attalos II; the Temple of Demeter,
constructed in the early-3 rd century BC; the Temple of Asclepios (2 nd
century BC), as well as upper, middle and lower agoras.
The Roman City: The region between the Selinus Stream (Bergama
Çay›) and the Asclepieion was settled during Roman times. The Roman
city possessed an amphitheater that seated 50,000 as well as another
with a seating capacity of 30,000. Both have yet to be excavated.
