Then visit The Asclepion - was perhaps the world's most famous ancient medical center, and the second most important site in Bergama, located to the southwest of the lower city was a sanctuary dedicated to the god of health: Asclepios. Red Courtyard or Red Basilica was built to worship to the Egyptian gods Serapis, Isis and Harpocrates when Egyptian religion was reaching into the Roman Empire.
