Perge is 18 km. east
of Antalya between the Duden and Aksu streams. This is reached
along the Antalya-Alanya highway, turning north at Aksu, going 2
km. further on. As it was not located on the coast, it was not
subjected to raids by pirates and therefore continued its
progress without interruption. It was settled in 1200 B.C. In
223 B.C. Perge, like Side, reached an agreement with Alexander
and thus did not go to war or suffer the usual ravages.
It lived
through the Hellenistic, the Roman and the Byzantine epochs. Its
15,000 spectator theater was built in the 2nd century A.D., and
the nearby stadium could hold 12,000 people. With the exception
of the Aphrodisias stadium, it is the best preserved in
Anatolia. There are 30 rooms, believed to have been used as
shops, underneath the stadium seats. A great many statues and
other valuable items have been unearthed in recent digs, many of
which are in the Antalya Museum. Some of the things worth seeing
in Perge are the Hellenistic gate, the agora, the nymphaeum, the
colonnaded streets, the sarcophagi, the basilica and the
acropolis. |
