Pamukkale (cotton castle) is a historic natural site in
Denizli province. Calcium carbonate rich 17 hot water springs in the area feed the terraces of

cotton structures. The ancient city of
Hierapolis was built in the 3rd century B.C. by
Phrygians
over the site. The area has been used as a thermal spa since the 2nd century B.C.
Pamukkale was designated as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. The site is a major tourist attraction.
