View along East West Street, to the right is the paleastra walls and in the distance are the ruins of the North Baths. Dating from the 1st century BC, the large unexcavated palaestra was an open courtyard surrounded by porticoes and used for excising and athletic practices. The well preserved ancient city of Perge was founded by colonists originating from the Peloponnese in Greece. It prospered during the Hellenistic period and from 133 BC was under the control of the Roman Empire.
