Most viewed - Hierapolis-Pamukkale, 3/27/2006

Pamukkale Village235 viewsThe town at the foot of the cliffs is shrouded in mist.

It's Miller Time!233 viewsEven in an Islamic country, you can't get away from beer ads.

Unidentified Structure229 viewsI have no idea what this unique and bizarre edifice was called, but Sandie thought it was worth a picture, and so do I.

The Theater at Hieropolis222 viewsConstructed in the reign of Hadrian (117-138 AD), the Theater seated 15,000 people and was one of the largest and finest in the ancient world. It was wrecked by an earthquake in the 7th century AD.

Domitian Gate221 viewsA 3-arch triumphal gate flanked by circular towers.

The White Cliffs of Pamukkale221 viewsThe hot springs located at Pamukkale are the source of mineral-rich water which flows over the cliffs, depositing calcium carbonate which hardens into travertine.

Sandie at Pamukkale216 viewsPamukkale means "cotton castle" in Turkish.

The Wading Pool214 viewsThe morning air was chilly, but the waters were warm.

No Picnicking213 viewsPicnics were decidedly frowned on in Hierapolis. I'm glad they printed the sign in English, because Turkish, being a non-Indo-European language, is tough to figure out. I might have thought it meant something like "Official Picnic Area."

The Temple of Apollo212 viewsDeliberately built on an active earthquake fault, which emits carbon dioxide gas. See the description for the Plutonion.

Empty Tomb210 viewsLara Croft was here.

The Hierapolis Necropolis201 viewsTombs of rich people. Potter's field this ain't.
