Pergamum's theater, with modern Bergama in the backgroundPergamum was one of the more interesting sites to visit. It has undergone a large amount of excavation and restoration. It is also one of the places that was visually very striking. The theater above is considered to be the world's steepest. Even more interesting, though, are the remains of the Pergamum Altar (presumably) to Zeus. It is worth taking the time to see the actual altar that was there, by visiting its Wikipedia site. This is probably what is described in Rev. 2 as "Satan's throne." Take a look, you'll see why the language is so lofty.
