Pamukkale
Pamukkale, the largest district of Denizli city, is another beauty of Turkey. The history of Pamukkale, which has healing spas, important cultural centers, and various beauties, dates back to the second century BC. Pamukkale, which is also considered as one of the few natural areas in the world, is a place that is shown in films and advertisements about Turkey. Moreover, there are many places for tourists who want to visit this place. Pamukkale is a combination of the words ``cotton`` and ``fortress``. The reason why it takes the word cotton in its name is that the travertines are white. At the same time, Pamukkale was included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1988.
The most important place to see when you go to Pamukkale is of course Pamukkale Travertines. These rocks, which are formed by precipitation as a result of chemical reactions, also have a white appearance like cotton. Travertines, which astound visitors with their appearance, are also intertwined with the Ancient City of Hierapolis and welcome over one million visitors every year. The ancient city of Hierapolis is named after Hiera, the wife of the King of Pergamon.
Of course, the ancient city of Hierapolis remains important as one of the points you should visit. This structure, which attracts many tourists in terms of religion, especially because of the murder of St. Philip, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ, sheds light on the history of Pamukkale. It is known as the “Holy City” by archaeologists.
