Hierapolis was a spa city founded around 190 BC and situated at the top of the Pamukkale cliff. The Romans used the same thermal waters that formed the travertines to create the healing spa. Although severely damaged by earthquakes, the ruins cover a large area and include a theatre, church, baths and archways. At this time of year the landscape is at its most lush, including wild poppies.
