A difficult mountain route into Phrygia began at Perga, and Alexander the Great used it for his invasion of the interior. Long the chief city of the district of Pamphylia Secunda, Perga was superseded in Byzantine times by its port, Attaleia (Antalya), which became a metropolis in 1084. The most notable remains at Perga include a theatre, a stadium, two basilicas, and the agora. Pop. (latest census) 491. |
