Sometimes written Pergai or Pergae, the ancient city of Perge is believed to date back to the 4th century BC or earlier. The city, which occupies an elevated position on a hill outside of Antalya, was of significance in Roman imperial times and is also thought to have been home to one of Asia Minor''''s oldest Christian communities. At just 15 km / 9 miles east of Antalya, the wonderful ancient ruins and archaeological attractions of Perge are a must see and a visit could not come more highly recommended. The temple of Artemis is particularly impressive at Perge, along with the theatre, churches and palaestra (Greek wrestling school). There is even an acropolis in Perge, built during the Bronze Age and still very imposing.
