TURKEY-HIERAPOLIS-WORLD HERITAGE

Photo taken on June 16, 2013 shows the basilica bath historical site in Hierapolis, Turkey. Hierapolis was an ancient city located on hot springs in classical Phrygia in southwestern Anatolia. The hot springs have been used as a spa since the 2nd century B.C., with many patrons retiring or dying there. The Hellenistic city was built on a grid with streets running parallel or perpendicular to the main thoroughfare. Its ruins comprise an archaeological museum designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (Xinhua/Lu Zhe)
