Cotton Castle*
In a galaxy far, far away, there stood a castle woven from cotton. This castle was a magical place where creatures from every corner of the universe would come to visit. Adorned in different attire and vibrant styles, these visitors would complete their visits in perfect harmony.
For thousands of years, it was said that the cotton-like rocks in the castle provided tranquility to minds and freshness to breaths. They strengthened bodies and the cascading waters offered healing and even extended life.
* Pamukkale, meaning “Cotton Castle” in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey. The area is famous for a carbonate mineral left by the flowing of thermal spring water. The ancient Greek city of Hierapolis was built on top of the travertine formation. This area has been drawing visitors to its thermal springs since the time of classical antiquity. Dripping slowly down the mountainside, mineral-rich waters collect in and cascade down the mineral terraces, into pools below. It was added as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 along with Hierapolis. (from Wikipedia)
