The ancient city of Hierapolis and the Pamukkale springs are a natural and cultural site in southwestern Turkey. It includes the ruined remains of the ancient city of Hierapolis, geothermal springs, reservoirs, terraces formed from Travertine. White travertines are formed by calcium deposits from water.
We visited as part of an excursion. We got a wonderful guide, caring, well-read, knowledgeable in history, and speaks good Russian.
Historical places. The ruins of the Church of St. The Apostle Phillip.
On the territory of Hierapolis
Restorations are taking place in some places, the Cleopatra pool is closed. The territory of the amphitheater, the largest in Turkey, is impressive. Sometimes concerts are held there nowadays.
The travertines of Pamukkale are an interesting natural phenomenon. I recommend it!

Nicely. A natural source of calcite release to the surface. A resort town was built on the spring. With pools, baths. Various spas and other wellness and entertainment facilities.
Due to the lack of IP technologies, a lot of people are involved. It was.
Due to proprietary claims, the resort has fallen into disrepair.
Contemporaries do nothing but advertising, fences and cash registers for 40 euros.
Sadly.

I really liked the incredibly beautiful, historical place, it was part of the tour. The only thing is Cleopatra's pool was closed, it's a pity.

Being on the same territory with the calcareous deposits of Pamukkale and the Cleopatra basin, Hierapolis is almost a must-visit if you are "brought" to those places. A large area with the remains of ancient ancient buildings, a beautiful Greek amphitheater and a museum, which contains sculptures, coins, etc. artifacts of those times, all this will interest lovers of antiquities. One thing is: it's very hot there in summer. High temperatures and scorching Sun can seriously complicate the acquaintance with the treasures of ancient civilizations.

The ancient city that housed the Roman Empire, one of the greatest nations in history, is now an incredible historical territory protected by the great Turkish Empire. There are also travertines of Pamukkale, which are geological structures that have been formed over thousands of years.

Before the trip, the tour operator told me to bring coral slippers, but the guards do not let me in any shoes, and barefoot is uncomfortable and dangerous. You need to take 1.5 - 2 liters of water, the prices there are cosmic. Staloctites are fascinating, very beautiful, but the divorce is visible to the naked eye: construction work is underway to restore and create antiquity with modern cement. Three hours for inspection is very short, you have to come here for the whole day.

It takes your breath away, you can feel the inspiration from the panorama of the ancient city of Hierapolis, the view of the amphitheater, Pamukkale and the mountains behind the amphitheater, snow-capped peaks!!!

On the spot, my thoughts plunged into a time when life was in full swing here and imagined how people here survived without everything that we have now.

The ancient "Holy City" was founded by immigrants from Ancient Greece. The period of Roman rule is the time of its heyday. The first buildings on the site of Hierapolis appeared in the II millennium BC. The king of Pergamon, Eumenes II, built a city on this site in 190 BC and named it Hierapolis. The city was subsequently destroyed by an earthquake and rebuilt. And in 133 BC, the city came under the patronage of Rome. The city played an important role in the spread of Christianity. In 90, one of the 12 apostles, St. Philip, was crucified upside down on a cross in it and died painfully. During the early Middle Ages (1097), Hierapolis (it was also called that) was transferred to the Turkish Sultan as a military compensation. Later, the polis, along with the nearby cities of Laodicea and Colossus, was a disputed territory and changed hands several times. The city will finally come under the rule of the Turks in 1210. The necropolis, the ruins of the temple of Apollo and the sanctuary of Pluto have also been preserved on the territory.
But the most impressive thing here is the Amphitheater. Antique, built during the reign of Roman emperors Hadrian and Septimius Severus. The amphitheater of Hierapolis boasts a rich history. Frequent earthquakes destroyed it more than once, so gradually they forgot about the theater, stopped restoring and using it for performances. Once it could accommodate from 10 to 12 thousand spectators. However, it owes its current appearance to the detailed reconstruction of the second half of the XX century. But, believe me, it was restored with the greatest attention to detail. Like that.

Everyone should visit here
I got there by plane from Istanbul
I rented a car at the airport, and returned it here before departure. Very convenient
Hierapolis cannot be expressed in words, you need to see and plunge into this atmosphere personally. You can get around everything in a day
History, nature, atmosphere

Be careful, there are no fences in some places, a friend broke her leg, got to the bus only with the help of other tourists, the guide and the staff of Hieropolis didn't seem to care.

A very interesting place! I recommend coming to the opening (8.00) and walking until 11. Then the crowds of tourists. A unique natural object!

an interesting place with a rich history (I wish you a good guide or look at all the information on the Internet), but it has been turned into another tourist entertainment: cafes everywhere, various kinds of household buildings
, all this, of course, spoils the view

Who has never been, it is worth visiting, and swimming in Cleopatra's pool. But before, as if it was cleaner (10 years ago), now the moss floats in the water.

It's sad what they did to Pamukkale:(but, the fact is, it's still a unique natural place. It's worth a look. The remains of Hierapolis are a little poor, as for me. Little has been preserved

Next to the amazing, unique landscape of Pamukkale's "Cotton Castle", you can explore what remains of the ancient resort town. The city of Hierapolis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, founded in the II century AD, has survived several earthquakes, has been destroyed more than once and rebuilt. Here are: one of the largest ancient (Roman) theaters in Turkey, the largest ancient necropolis, the ruins of several temples, the ruins of ancient baths. The history of Christianity is represented by the Martyrium of St. Philip, one of the 12 apostles who died in these places. Great place! Epochs layered on top of each other.
Having climbed to the very top of the theater, you understand the majesty of this structure and the vanity of human life. It is from here that the most magnificent views of the valley open!

It's just a great place....The spirit of history is present in every stone. There is a pool with warm, mineral water (the crater of an old volcano, after all) and ancient columns at the bottom, where, according to legend, Cleopatra herself bathed ...
Next to the pool is what remains of the ancient city of Hieropolis and the largest amphitheater in Turkey...

I visited the ruins of Hierapolis two years ago. However, there was no guide. It's good that I'm interested in the ancient world myself and I knew the history of Hierapolis well. It's a wonderful place.
