BERGAMA

The new archaeological map of Pergamon presents all known building remains within the ancient city. It is an updated and expanded version of the original map published in 1973 and the Pergamon Digital Map v1.1 published in 2020. The map includes current excavation data from the Pergamon Excavation Project and the Bergama Museum, as well as documentation of earlier excavations conducted in the 1930s and 1950s at the Musalla Mezarlığı site.

To provide a clearer understanding of the city’s layout in relation to the terrain, post-antique buildings have been temporarily omitted but can be overlaid if needed. The same applies to the Kestel Dam and its reservoir – where the original landscape has been reconstructed using historical maps.

The Pergamon Digital Map is published by the Pergamon Excavation of the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) in collaboration with the Bergama Museum, Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

This digital map is regularly updated. The latest version (v2) includes new data on the surroundings of the Asclepieion, the urban area east of the Red Hall, and the riverbanks of the Selinus (modern-day Bergama Çayı).
