Pergamon /ˈperɡəmən/ or /ˈperɡəmɒn/ or Pergamum /ˈperɡəməm/ (Ancient Greek: τὸ Πέργαμον, to Pergamon, or ἡ Πέργαμος, hē Pergamos) was an ancient Greek city in Aeolis, currently located 26 kilometres (16 mi) from the Aegean Sea on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus (modern-day Bakırçay). Today, the main sites of ancient Pergamon are to the north and west of the modern city of Bergama in Turkey.
Some ancient authors regarded it as a colony of the Arcadians, but the various origin stories all belong to legend. The Greek historians reconstructed a complete history for it due to confusion with the distant Teuthrania. It became the capital of the Kingdom of Pergamon during the Hellenistic period, under the Attalid dynasty, 281–133 BC. Pergamon is cited in the Book of Revelation as one of the seven churches of Asia.

UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE LIST;
This site rises high above the Bakirçay Plain in Turkey’s Aegean region. The acropolis of Pergamon was the capital of the Hellenistic Attalid dynasty, a major centre of learning in the ancient world. Monumental temples, theatres, stoa or porticoes, gymnasium, altar and library were set into the sloping terrain surrounded by an extensive city wall. The rock-cut Kybele Sanctuary lies to the north-west on another hill visually linked to the acropolis. Later the city became capital of the Roman province of Asia known for its Asclepieion healing centre. The acropolis crowns a landscape containing burial mounds and remains of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires in and around the modern town of Bergama on the lower slopes.

what a very pretty warbler I was fortunate to spend some time with this weekend in the White Mountains of NH. Finally trees are leafing out and there are blossoms and bugs and a swarm of new migrants arriving everyday.
This is one of two kilns on the site of the Side Lime Works in Midlothian. In use in the mid nineteenth century they were both disused by 1893.
This side street wasn't too far away from the duomo (cathedral) in central Parma, Italy. A faded fresco of an angel is visible amidst the peeling terracota paint.
