Pamukkale is unique in that it surpasses natural elements such as warm, mineralized water from springs and pools that flow from it. This was where Hierapolis was founded, a notable example of a Graeco-Roman thermal complex. The Christian monuments are excellent examples of early-Christian architecture complexes.


Pamukkale, which means"cotton castle" in Turkish, is a breathtaking site that got its name from mineral deposits produced by hot springs. Mineral forests, petrified cascades, and terraced pools of a natural nymphaeum are strange formations caused by the rich minerals in this ancient location; it's no wonder that Pamukkale is one of Turkey's most popular tourist attractions.


The hot springs' power in reshaping the landscape was attributed by the ancient Greeks to its ability to heal, and a thermal station was erected on the site during Roman times. This ancient city is called as Hierapolis Ancient City and it is one of the most interesting archaeological sites in Turkey.
