All About Pamukkale

History

The town is famous for its unique geological formations and also for its historical remaining. Its geological beauty: the calcium oxide-rich waters flowed down from the southern slope of Caldag over the millennia. The Caldag is a small slope located north of the ruins. Consequently now you are able to admire this “cotton castle” with its snow-white terraces formed by the thermal waters cascading down the hillside.

 

Ancient Hierapolis (the holy city) founded by Eumenus II King of Pergamum in the II century BC, under the Roman domination 129 BC and grow up during the 2nd and 3rd century AD. Christianism came with the Apostle Philip who had been crucified here in the year 87 AD. The site called Martyrium of Saint Philip can be visited. In the vicinity there is Laodicea, one of the Seven Churches of Revelation.

 

Hierapolis during the Byzantine period was the metropolis of Phrygia Pacatiana. There was a great cathedral and a fortress within its walls. Recent excavations conducted by an Italian archeological mission restored many monuments, as the theater and the famous Necropolis.
