About
The Asclepieion of Pergamon was an asclepieion, a healing temple, built in honour of the gods Asclepius and Hygieia, located west of the Pergamon hill, roughly three kilometers southwest of the acropolis in modern-day Bergama, Turkey. Founded in the mid-4th century BCE, it functioned as a religious and therapeutic centre through the Hellenistic and Roman periods, reaching its greatest prominence in the 2nd Century CE.
