Hierapolis, which means "holy city" in Greek, is an ancient Greek city located in southwestern Turkey, founded in 190 BC. The city is not only a military fortress, but also has an amazing theater and is also a place for gladiator fights.
The ruins of Hierapolis are located near Pamukkale. They are in the same large scenic area as the Pamukkale hot springs. You can walk between the two. It is a famous holy city in ancient Greece. It was built roughly in the 2nd century BC. At present, the ruins still have ancient Greek theaters, churches, baths and other large ruins, which reproduce the daily life scenes of the ancient Greek people. It is now a world cultural heritage. The ruins of Hierapolis were built by Eumenes II, the king of Pergamon, an ancient Greek city-state near the west coast of Turkey. It was built as a hot spring resort for the royal family and nobles. It was razed to the ground in a major earthquake in the 17th century. Now only broken walls and ruins remain.

Beginning of the summer is the best time to visit travertines of Pamukkale. We enjoyed this beautiful healing thermal pools. Unique cotton white hill.
Pamukkale, the milk spilled by God🍶🥛.
A very unique attraction in Turkey. You need to go up barefoot, and the foot feels a bit rough. There are staff on site to maintain order, and you need to avoid taking pictures. This place is worth a visit.

The archaeological museum in Pamukkale is actually a theater left over from the ancient Roman period, as well as some other living places. However, the road from the pool to the top is not very easy to walk.
The Hierapolis Archaeological Museum is located in an original Roman bathhouse next to the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis above Pamukkale. The museum houses some artifacts excavated from the ancient city of Hierapolis, large sarcophagi, reliefs and Roman statues...
