Perge ancient city is located in Aksu district, 17 kilometers east of Antalya city center. The city, which is believed to have existed in the Hittite period and is known as “Parha”, was one of the most regular cities in Anatolia during the Roman period. The sculptures unearthed during the excavations in the
ancient city, which is famous for its architecture and marble sculpture, have made the Antalya Museum one of the most important sculpture museums.
The basis of the city plan of Perge is two main streets, one running in an east-west direction and the other in a north-south direction.The theater, which has a capacity of 15 thousand spectators, is quite well preserved. The elaborately decorated two-story stage building, located opposite the seating
areas, was built in the 2nd century. The artifacts found here are currently on permanent display in the Hall of the Perge Theater in the Antalya Museum.
