Hierapolis Ancient City, one of the most important ancient city areas not only in Turkey but also in the world, is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List just like the travertines.
The unique ancient heritage of the Kingdom of Pergamon was famous for its thermal resources and healing properties even in 197 BC when it was founded.
Hierapolis, which takes its name from a cave, means "Holy City". This cave caused the death of some living creatures with the existence of thermal waters and gas (carbon dioxide).
Although earthquakes in 133 BC and 60 AD destroyed the city known to the world with its temples, later it was rebuilt by the Romans.
Pamukkale travertines are a visual feast created by thermal waters in the Buyuk Menderes River Basin with a series of earthquakes 400,000 years ago.
Pamukkale Turkey, located in Denizli, is famous for its snow-white travertines visited by millions of local and foreign visitors every year, the fascinating Cleopatra Pool, and the Ancient City of Hierapolis.

It is also one of the 29 places in the world that have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List with its natural and cultural features.
Travertines of Pamukkale Turkey and Cappadocia with their natural beauties are among the first places that foreigners and tourists want to see here.
Pamukkale Travertines consist of spring waters and travertine terraced hills. This terrace, located at the foothills of the Cokelez Mountain and extending at an altitude of 100-150 meters from the plain, contains thermal springs that create Pamukkale at a distance of about 6 km and provide the formation of travertines.
Travertines start from the area called Domuzcukuru near Kadı Creek and extend to Caltik Creek, which flows next to the last grave of the Necropolis in the north. Thermal waters provide the formation of these travertines, 50 meters high, about 3 km long and 250-600 meters wide.
The thermal water of Pamukkale Turkey coming out of the spring travels a distance of about 320 meters and comes to the travertine and from here it pours into the snow-white travertine layers and extends up to 240-300 meters.
When the water saturated with calcium carbonate evaporates under the sun, it first emerges a cottony appearance of white travertines in gel form and solidifies and turns into rocks with the crystallized surface.
In addition to calcium carbonate, it contains sulfate, sodium, iron, potassium, magnesium, free carbon dioxide.
The sedimentary rock travertine terrace is white like cotton and named Pamukkale because of the softness of its original form, and there are 17 hot water areas in the 33-35 ° C temperature range.
It has been known for its healing waters since ancient times and welcomes visitors who want to find healing like today.
Pamukkale Turkey healing waters are good for digestive, respiratory, circulatory and skin diseases. It regained its former whiteness with the removal of the hotels, which were between the ancient bath structure and travertines, which once brought the travertines to the stage of destruction.
