Where is Satan's Throne?

We read in Revelation 2, in the letter to the church in Pergamum:

“To the angel of the church in Pergamum write:

These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. I know where you live—where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, not even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives.”
(Rev 2:12-13)

So where is Satan’s throne?

Well, there are many options!

Washington, Brussels, London, or Sydney?

More seriously, it is likely somewhere in Asia Minor, in Pergamum but where precisely?
