PERGE

The extensive remains found at Perge justify it to be one of the most well-preserved ancient cities along the length of the Mediterranean coast. Following the Trojan war, Greek heroes founded the city. Upon siding with Alexander the Great during his Asian campaign, it was not long before it rose to prominence. Its 12,000 seated stadium was once the stage for wild beast shows and athletic performances. The site also has a marble Roman gate, a spacious agora, athletic complex and bath. Perge offers an unforgettable insight into ancient times.
