Pamukkale (in english "Cotton Castle") Travertines

Turkey / Denizli / Akkoy /
 nature conservation park / area, interesting place, UNESCO World Heritage Site, tourist attraction
The calcium oxide-rich waters flowing down the southern slope of Caldag located north of the ruins have, over the millennia, built up deposits of white travertine on the plateau thus fully justifying both the site's ancient name of Hierapolis (Holy City) and its modern one of Pamukkale (Cotton Castle).
