Its story

Perge is in Aksu district, about 18 km east of Antalya. The acropolis is thought to have been founded in the Bronze Age; the city was referred to as Parha in Hittite times. In the Hellenistic and Roman periods it was counted among the richest cities of the ancient world, and the famous mathematician Apollonius of Perge was born here. Most of the marble statues in the Antalya Museum came from the Perge excavations.
