There are thousands of tourists who don't know that everything is an illusion. Why is Turkey Cotton Castle called the most "eye-catching" attraction in the world?

The cotton fort is located in the southwest of Turkey. Such a lovely name comes from its appearance like a castle covered with cotton. The so-called "cotton" means that the spring water flows down from the top of the mountain, and after thousands of years of calcification and precipitation, it forms a semi-circular white natural limestone ladder, which is stacked layer by layer. From a distance, it looks like a big cotton standing on the mountain, more like a dyed white terrace.

In Roman times, it was a hot spring resort for the ancient Romans. Due to the special composition of the hot spring, the calcium salt in it gradually deposited, forming this huge calcified dike.

There is a legend in the cotton castle: once, the shepherd Andy Meen forgot to milk the goats for a tryst with Serena, the Greek moon god, causing the goat milk to flow freely and cover the whole hill. This is the legendary cotton castle. Sheila Pohris, a famous historical city at the top of the mountain, has attracted many people to come here for spa treatment since ancient Roman times, and the hot spring pool has been used ever since.

In fact, the cotton fort is a calcified stone. After a long period of soaking, some places have begun to turn yellow, similar to cotton and white natural stone steps. So why is Turkey's cotton castle known as the most "eye-catching" attraction in the world?
