Perge Ancient City is located in Aksu district, 17 kilometers east of Antalya city center. The city, which is thought to have existed during the Hittite Period and known as "Parha", became one of the most organized cities of Anatolia during the Roman Period. The sculptures unearthed during excavations in the ancient city, famous for its architecture and marble sculpture, have made the Antalya Museum one of the most important sculpture museums.

The city plan of Perge was built on two main streets, one running east-west and the other north-south. Perge's theater with a capacity of 15 thousand spectators is very well preserved. The elaborately decorated two-story stage building opposite the seating was built in the 2nd century AD. The artifacts found here are now on permanent display in the 'Perge Theater Hall' at the Antalya Museum. The perfection of these sculptures beautifully reflects the unique style of Perge sculpture. The stadium, another basic structure of the ancient city of Perge, is one of the best preserved stadiums in Turkey. Built in the 2nd century BC north of the theater, the stadium has a capacity of about 12 thousand spectators.

Other social and cultural buildings reflecting the splendor of the city in ancient times include the rectangular agora, high towers, monumental fountains, baths and colonnaded streets. Perge is also important for Christianity. St. Paul, one of the most important figures of Christianity, came to Perge via the Aksu River during his missionary journeys. Since it was written in the Bible, the city and the river are considered one of the holy places of Christianity.
