Hierapolis was an ancient city located in what is now modern-day Turkey, near the town of Pamukkale. Founded in the 2nd century BC by the Attalid kings of Pergamon, it became a thriving center of Greco-Roman culture and a significant spa town due to its hot springs, which were believed to have healing properties. The city's name means "Holy City" in Greek, reflecting its religious significance. Hierapolis is renowned for its well-preserved ruins, including a vast necropolis, a grand theater, and the Temple of Apollo.
