WITW
Daniel
11.6.12

This WITW is a natural site (city) called Pamukkale.

Pamukkale is located in the south-west part of turkey in Denizli Province

Pamukkale in Turkish means "cotton castle".

Tourism is a major aspect to this site. People have went in and washed in the hot springs for over 1000's of years. It also a terrific site to see and I hope to visit it one day.

In about the mid 20th century hotels and roads were already being built at the site but when Pamukkale became a World Heritage Site the roads and hotels were taken right out causing no more harm to this amazing site, Pamukkale.
