Pamukkale, is a natural site in Denizli Providence in the south-western of Turkey. The city contains hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water.

• This place was created by natural phenomenon’s, thousands of years ago earthquakes, which are common in Turkey, created fractures that allowed powerful hot springs to bring water rich in calcium carbonate to the surface. As the water evaporated the chalky material condensed and formed layers which slowly built up walls like the stalactites formed in a cave.
