Bergama, formerly known as **Pergamon** in ancient times, is considered one of the most respected centers in the world in the fields of science, medicine, culture, and architecture. This magnificent city, which was the capital of the Pergamon Kingdom in the 3rd century BC, became one of the most influential cultural centers of the ancient world with the **invention of parchment**, its library that shaped world history, and the **Asklepion Health Center** where the foundations of medical science were laid.
The famous **Pergamon Library**, with its collection of 200,000 volumes, was one of the largest intellectual structures of the time and a cultural and educational center that rivaled the Library of Alexandria. Furthermore, the **Altar of Zeus**, the **steepest ancient theater in the world**, and the multi-layered Acropolis structures, which contain the most advanced examples of Hellenistic architecture, show how developed Pergamon was artistically and architecturally.
Bergama was included in the **UNESCO World Heritage List** in 2014, officially earning its universal cultural value. Thanks to its multi-layered historical structure covering the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods, it is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world.
