Antikke byen Hierapolis i Pamukkale
Hierapolis Ancient City
Perched above the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, Hierapolis was founded as a thermal spa and Phrygian cult center before evolving into a major Greco-Roman city. This list covers the site's most significant monuments, including the remarkably preserved Roman theatre, the sprawling Northern Necropolis with over 1,200 tombs, and the mysterious Plutonium. Visitors can explore the ruins of the Apollo Temple, the octagonal Martyrion of Saint Philip, and the monumental Frontinus Gate, which marks the city's ancient northern entrance.
Hierapolis Roman Theatre
A well-preserved 2nd-century AD structure built during the reigns of Hadrian and Septimius Severus. It features an ornate stage building decorated with mythological reliefs and once accommodated approximately 15,000 spectators.
Apollo Temple
The city's primary religious site, dedicated to its patron deity. The current ruins date mostly from the 3rd century AD and were constructed over a geological fault line emitting carbon dioxide.
Saint Philipzu Martyrion
An octagonal 5th-century pilgrimage complex built on the hill where the Apostle Philip was purportedly martyred. The site includes the saint's tomb and remains of a large church.
