Today Alsancak Melih Özakat Primary School students and Technobird are very excited

Pergamon during the visit:
"The history of Bergama, one of the most glorious settlements of the Hellenistic Period,
goes up to the seventh century BC. The city was the capital of the Kingdom of Pergamon,

terraces built at Fortified Hill; temples, streets, social and commercial plazas and the Hellenistic

palaces, Traian Temple, waterways, fountains, cisterns and arsenals are world famous
monuments built at Fortified Hill."
They go to the Sanctuary of Athena altogether. There are Pergamon Library and Athena

Library collection consisted of 200.000 books including bundles of papyrus and parchment.
Then they see The Temple of Zeus and Dionysus Temple. It hosts big festivals. The Citadel
