Pamukkale, which translates as "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural feature in Turkey's Denizli Province. The place is known for a carbonate mineral left by thermal spring water flowing. It is located in Turkey's Inner Aegean region, in the River Menderes valley, which enjoys a temperate environment for the majority of the year.
Hierapolis, the ancient Greek city, was built on top of a travertine formation that is 2,700 meters (8,860 feet) long, 600 meters (1,970 feet) wide, and 160 meters (525 feet) high. It can be seen from Denizli, 20 kilometers distant, from the hills on the opposite side of the valley. Since Classical antiquity, this location has drew travelers to its thermal springs, known as Pamukkale (Cotton Castle) or old Hierapolis (Holy City).

Cotton palace, that is a charming name to it. Blue and white are useful for the eye. It's seems like I need to go there.
