Ruins of the Temple of Asklepios, which was the most beautiful structure of the Asklepieion. Pergamum, Bergama, Turkey. The building dates from 142AD and was a Hellenistic styled circular domed building fronted by a colonnaded entrance. It had a hemispherical dome of 24 metres in diameter with an oculus to allow light and air. It has been compared to the Pantheon in Rome, although smaller in size.
