{{main|Library of Pergamum}}
The Library of Pergamon was the second largest in the ancient Greek world after the [[Library of Alexandria]], containing at least 200,000 scrolls. The location of the library building is not certain. Since the 19th century excavations, it has generally been identified with an annex of the northern stoa of the sanctuary of Athena in the Upper Citadel, which was built by Eumenes II.<ref>''Altertümer von Pergamon''. II, p. 56–88.</ref> Inscriptions in the gymnasium which mention a library might indicate, however, that the building was located in that area.<ref>[[Harald Mielsch]], "Die Bibliothek und die Kunstsammlung der Könige von Pergamon," ''Archäologischer Anzeiger''. 1995, pp. 765–779.</ref><ref>Kekeç 1989, p. 40.</ref>
