Pamukkale,
meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli
Province in southwestern Turkey. The city contains hot springs and travertines,
terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water. It is located in
Turkey's Inner Aegean region, in the River Menderes valley, which has a
temperate climate for most of the year. The ancient Greco-Roman city of
Hierapolis was built on top of the white "castle" which is in total
about 2,700 metres (8,860 ft) long, 600 m (1,970 ft) wide and 160 m (525 ft)
high.
