Ankara is the capital of Turkey and the country's second largest city after İstanbul. The city has a population (as of 2005) of 4319167 (Province 5153000), and a mean elevation of 850 m (2800 ft). It was formerly known as Angora. Pamukkale, meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural site and attraction in south-western Turkey in the Denizli Province. The ancient city of Hierapolis was built on top of the white "castle" which is in total about 2700 meters long and 160m high. It can be seen from a great distance, eg. when driving down the hills on the opposite side of the valley to the town of Denizli, which is 20 km away. Pamukkale is located in Turkey's Inner Aegean region, in the Maeander River valley, which enjoys a temperate climate over the greater part of the year.
