Hierapolis (Greek: Ιεραπολις, "Holy city") was the ancient city on top of the famous Pamukkale hot springs which are located in south-western Turkey near Denizli, in the Denizli Province.
This place, which is listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is not to be confused with another ancient city of that name in eastern Turkey, Hierapolis Bambyce or Mabug.
As the hot springs of Pamukkale were used as a spa since the 2nd century B.C., people came to sooth their ailings here. Many of them retired and died here. The large cemetery area covered with many sarcophagus is thus known as a Necropolis.
