BERGAMA (PERGAMON)
Pergamon in the Aegean Region was one of the most
important Ionian cities, and developed
after it came under the
Roman Empire. It was famous for the
Temple of Zeus, which was later taken to
Britain. The famous doctor of antiquity;
Galen had worked in the
sanatorium of Bergama and
wrote around 500 medical books. In the time of
early Christianity, the famous Serapis
Temple was turned into a
church and dedicated to St.
John. That church in Bergama is the one of
''Seven Churches'' in Anatolia.. |
