History & cultural identity

Denizli, majestically sprawling across the wide fertile alluvial valleys of the Büyük Menderes and Çürüksu rivers framed by pine-forested Taurus and Aegean mountain ranges, holds a monumental ancient Phrygian, Lydian, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman (Hierapolis and Laodicea as supreme imperial centers), Byzantine, Seljuk, Germiyanid, and Ottoman imperial civilizational legacy spanning over three millennia. Known historically as Laodicea and Attouda and later as Tonguzlu and Denizli under Ottoman administration, the city flourished as a supreme textile, trading, and thermal health crossroads. Its crowning historical and natural glories include the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Pamukkale (the breathtaking cascading white travertine terraces) and Hierapolis Antik Kenti.
