485 TR - Hierapolis-Pamukkale (1988)

Brief Description

"Deriving from springs in a cliff almost 200 m high overlooking the plain, calcite-laden waters have created at Pamukkale (Cotton Palace) an unreal landscape, made up of mineral forests, petrified waterfalls and a series of terraced basins. At the end of the 2nd century B.C. the dynasty of the Attalids, the kings of Pergamon, established the thermal spa of Hierapolis. The ruins of the baths, temples and other Greek monuments can be seen at the site."

赫拉波利斯和帕穆克卡莱

"从平原上200米高的岩石中流出的泉水和水中的方 解石形成了帕穆克卡莱（土耳其语中意为“棉花宫殿”）这一特殊地貌。它由石林、石瀑布和一系列的梯形盆地组成。公元前2世纪末，阿塔利德斯王朝的帕加马国 王们建立了希拉波利斯温泉站。这处遗址包括浴室的废墟、庙宇和其他希腊建筑。"
