A family trip to Pergamon, Turkiye

#familytravel
We had our family trip to Turkiye, and one of the place we visited is the ancient ruins of Pergamon. Pergamon is a powerful ancient Greek city located at Aeolis, in modern day Bergama. The city flourished during the 400BC during the Hellenistic period, and it has been in a bustling state until the invasion of the Seljuks. Today, the upper Acropolis consists of several pillars which forms the original Traianeum, and the Pergamon Altar, is currently on display at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. There is also an amphitheater similar to other Greek ancient cities. The most interesting part is that this area is mentioned in the Bible as one of the seven churches in the books of Revelations.
