Hierapolis. Turkey. View along the ruins of the north-south stone paved road in the ancient city. To the right is the entrance to the 6th century Basilica church. Hierapolis was founded as a Hellenistic thermal spa city above the Pamukkale plateau in 190 BC by Eumenes II, King of Pergamum. The ancient city passed into the hands of the Romans where it grew and prospered especially during the second and third centuries AD. Most of the archaeological monuments at Hierapolis date from this period. Hierapolis-Pamukkale together are a Unesco World Heritage Site.
