PERGE
Perge is on a rise not far from the Cestrus River,
which was navigable in Paul's time.
Its origin dates from pre-Greek times. In Roman
times the main streets were over 21m
wide and were lined with Ionic colonnades. A water
channel ran through the center in a
series of small waterfalls. The stadium, one of
the best preserved in Turkey could seat
14,000 people.
