	Perge 125 photos from Perge (Antalya, Turkey) 2023-10-19 Perga or Perge was originally an ancient Lycian settlement that later became a Greek city in Pamphylia. It was the capital of the Roman province of Pamphylia Secunda, now located in Antalya Province on the southwestern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Today its ruins lie 15 kilometres east of Antalya. It was the birthplace of the Greek mathematician Apollonius of Perga, one of the most notable mathematicians of antiquity for his work on conic sections. Excavations started in 1946 and have uncovered many monumental buildings: a theatre, a stadium, palaestra, a temple of Artemis and two churches. The Hellenistic walls date from the 3rd c. BC and had 3 gates. The south gate is particularly monumental and includes 2 towers 3 storeys high with conical roofs and a horseshoe-shaped square behind. Under Hadrian in 121 AD, a triumphal arch was inserted into the northern wall of the courtyard. One of the most impressive monuments is the theatre which lies outside the walls near the stadium. The south baths created in the 1st c. AD is one of the best preserved buildings and is noteworthy for its size and monumentality. We visited Perge on a day trip from Antalya in the autumn of 2023.
