Hierapolis

Hierapolis Pamukkale is an ancient city and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in southwestern Turkey, near the city of Denizli. The city was built on top of natural hot springs, which formed the iconic white travertine terraces that are a major tourist attraction today.

Hierapolis was founded in the 2nd century BC and was an important center of Roman and Byzantine civilization. The city is known for its well-preserved ruins, including a theater, a Roman bath, and a necropolis. The most famous attraction in Hierapolis is the Pamukkale Travertines, which are a series of white terraced pools filled with hot mineral water. The terraces are formed by the flow of water from the hot springs, which has deposited calcium carbonate over thousands of years.

In addition to the terraces, Hierapolis is also home to several ancient thermal baths, which were believed to have healing properties. Visitors can still swim in the hot springs and explore the ancient ruins of the city. Hierapolis Pamukkale is a popular destination for tourists interested in history, culture, and natural beauty.
