Asklepion
One of the most renowned healing centers of the ancient world was the Asklepion of Pergamon, which specialized in ancient medicinal healing practices and was dedicated to the god Asclepius.
Founded in the fourth century BCE, it integrated spiritual rituals alongside preliminary medicine.
Patients followed the Sacred Way, where they drank medicinal waters and rested in treatment quarters.
The combination of the theater and library alongside the soothing atmosphere was a hallmark of Pergamon, which seamlessly fused faith with medicine alongside pioneering holistic healthcare.
