One of Turkey's most impressive archaeological sites, Pergamon Acropolis is dramatically sited on a hill to the northeast of the town centre. The word "acropolis" means "city above" in Ancient Greek. On the other hand, Pergamon Acropolis is called the “castle hill” by the public and is located just above Bergama city center.
There are two ways to access the site: You can drive to the upper car park (parking ₺5) or instead follow the signposts along Akropol Caddesi to the lower station of the Bergama Acropolis Cable Car. There's a paid car park here, too (again ₺5). The cable-car ride takes five minutes.
Pergamon was founded in the 3rd century BC as the capital of the Attalid dynasty. Located in the Aegean Region, the heart of the Antique World, and at the crossroads between Europe and the Middle East. After the city was passed to the Romans in 133 BC, Pergamon became a metropolis and was the capital of the Roman Province of Asia during the Roman imperial period. The Romans maintained the already existing structures of the Hellenistic Period while adding new functions as a cultural and imperial cult center of the empire.
During the Byzantine Period due to the relocation of the trade roads and political centers from the Aegean Region to northwest Anatolia, especially to İstanbul (Constantinople), Pergamon was transformed from a major Hellenistic and Roman center into a middle-sized town, and continued its cultural-religious importance as home to one of the Seven Churches of Asia.
After the arrival of the Ottomans, Pergamon experienced one more cultural adjustment.
