The world-famous hot spring waterfall terraces of Pamukkale are spread out across a mountainside below the extensive ruins of the ancient Roman hot spring resort of Hierapolis, where St. Philip was supposedly martyred. After the fall of the Roman empire, the resort fell into decay and the hot spring water was allowed to cascade down the mountainside, eventually creating the blindingly white calcite terraces of Pamukkale - one of Turkey’s must-see attractions.
