Cotton Castle, Pamukkale Turkey

Cotton Castle, Pamukkale Turkey

Pamukkale sebenarnya bermaksud Cotton Caste dalam bahasa Turki. Cotton Castle terkenal dengan carbonate mineral. Ianya juga merupakan Unesco World Heritage.

Pelancong biasanya akan merendamkan kaki ke dalam tasik mineral di Cotton Castle itu. Dikatakan ianya bagus untuk mengubati sakit kulit.

Pamukkale, meaning "Cotton Castle" in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli in southwestern Turkey. The area is famous for a carbonate mineral left by the flowing water. ... The Turkish name refers to the surface of the shimmering, snow-white limestone, shaped over millennia by calcium-rich springs.

What is the Cotton Castle made of?
From a distance, the white limestone walls seem to resemble an immense castle of fluffy cotton. These limestone walls were formed by the calcium-rich water from the springs. Eventually, the calcium carbonate in the water slowly deposits itself as a soft jelly and eventually hardens into limestone.

Why is Pamukkale white?
Somewhere deep in the earth beneath Pamukkale and the ancient Roman city of Hierapolis lies a vast source of water heated by volcanic lava. The water dissolves pure white calcium, becomes saturated with it, and carries it to the earth's surface, where it bursts forth and runs down a steep hillside.

Pamukkale in Aegean Turkey is also called the “Cotton Castle”, because of the white, cottony appearance of the mineral bath spas that abound the province, which is rich in calcium. Known as a “spa town” since the Roman era, tourists travel to Pamukkale to relax in warm, soothing and therapeutic waters in the myriad spas.

Pamukkale is a small place, but it has remarkable spots to make your trip memorable such as the ruins of Hierapolis (ancient spa town), Sacred Pool (scattered marble columns add to the charm of this warm, calcium-dense pool), Travertines (calcium deposit terraces), Roman Theater and the archaeological Museum.

When is the best time to visit Pamukkale?
The best time for visiting Pamukkale is spring (April to mid June). Summer can be unbearably hot while winter can see snowfall! Autumn (mid September to October) is also a good option, but the days are shorter and there's more chance of rain.
