Next, drive to Bergama to visit Pergamum, described in Revelation as the place “where Satan’s throne is.” Explore the impressive Acropolis area and learn about Pergamum’s role as a major religious and political center of the Roman world.
The church here was praised for its loyalty to Christ, even during times of martyrdom.
Church of Thyatira
