HIERAPOLIS

Our visit to Hierapolis, an ancient city founded in the 2nd century BC, did not disappoint. We started in the cemetery, and walked through it along a road, with tombs and grave monuments made of travertine lining both sides. We then came to the Front Gate of the city, and walked along the Main Street. The baths were among the largest in Asia Minor, holding up to 1,000 people at a time. We also saw the Latrine, which was a meeting place for the men to come and socialize as they did their business.....good time management, I guess.
