Highlights include the Temple of Trajan, pictured here, the Altar of Zeus, the Temple of Athena, and the site of one of the oldest libraries in the world. It used to contain 200,000 scrolls. Mark Anthony had them transferred to Alexandria as a wedding gift for Cleopatra. And we all know what happened to the library at Alexandria.
The site is near the present day town of Bergama, which looks like a lovely place to hang your hat for a while.
