Les Pergamon Hotel

About Les Pergamon Hotel

Les Pergamon is a boutique hotel and restaurant in the old Gazipasa primary school on Taksim Caddesi in Bergama. Visit Izmir, the tourism site of the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, describes it as a stone building restored without spoiling its original fabric, close to the historic sights of the town. The school was built in the late 19th century for the children of the Greek minority and served as a five-class school between 1915 and 1919. It remained a primary school in the early years of the Republic, was later abandoned when new schools opened, and was damaged by fire. Bergama Municipality restored the building in 2009, and it now operates as the Les Pergamon boutique hotel and restaurant. The Neo-Greek style building has a basement and one upper floor, with walls of alternating stone and brick, two large blocks joined by service rooms, and a main entrance whose landing sits on top of a vaulted cistern. Low reliefs above the windows show a flower, tulips and crescent and star emblems, and the column capitals are Corinthian. In the garden a Roman sarcophagus of the 2nd century AD, found in excavations in 1890 and decorated with three garlands, is used as a fountain, and there is a second cut stone fountain from the 19th century.
