The city is centered on a 335-metre-high mesa of andesite, which formed its acropolis. Many remains of its monuments can still be seen, especially the masterpiece of the Pergamon Altar. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage List since 2014. The modern town of Bergama lies over the remains of the Roman city, while the remains of the ancient Greek city with its acropolis lie northeast across the Bergama River, on a high hill with terraced slopes
