Priene was so beautiful that it became Alexander's favorite place to stay in Asia Minor. After 200 years of Pergamon Kingdom rule, it became first a Roman city and then a Byzantine city.

The IVth century BC Athena Temple, Parliamentary Building, Fish Market, The Theater and the city walls are the best rem.
