What are the World Heritage Sites in Turkey?
Speaking of Turkey, this country is rich in tourism resources and has many world heritages. Friends who are interested in culture should not miss it. Come and have a look with me.

Enjoy the exquisite architecture and enjoy the world heritage.

The two most famous scenic spots in Istanbul are Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. From 65438 to 0985, Istanbul Cultural District, where Hagia Sophia is located, was listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO. These two unparalleled buildings have similar characteristics-magnificent appearance, towering dome and exquisite lighting. Their main colors are red and blue respectively, which also reflects the collision and blending of the two religions.

The Blue Mosque is the work of Mohammad Aga, the best architect in the Muslim world and a proud disciple of Sinan. It is one of the most important buildings in Istanbul and one of the ten wonders of the world. Built in 1609. The walls of the temple are decorated with blue and white Iznik tiles. There are six spires around the huge dome. No nail was used in the construction, and it remained intact after several earthquakes. 260 small windows, more than 20,000 blue tiles, carpets and Arabic calligraphy art are important attractions of the temple.

Church of St. Sofia

The church of St. Sofia is resplendent and magnificent, which embodies outstanding architectural art and becomes the design template of Islamic mosque later. It is a religious museum owned by Christians and Muhammad believers.

Fuso

Another world heritage site is located in Ephesus, which is the best preserved ancient city on the east coast of the Mediterranean. It has the themis Temple, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, as well as the beautifully carved sayles Library, ancient theaters and opera houses. Today, the themis Temple, which is bigger than the Parthenon in Athens, has only ruins and scattered ancient stone carvings, but we can still imagine the glory of that year from the huge stone foundation left behind. Sayles Library is the most interesting place here. Even though it is incomplete, it is fortunate to have a beautiful facade-a two-story archway and some exquisite sculptures, which can best reflect the brilliance of Ephesus.

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 semicircular white natural limestone ladder, so the Turks call it "cotton fort". Cotton doesn't tread smoothly. The spring water in the bread bag varies in depth, some reaching only the ankle and some reaching the waist.

The water temperature here is kept at 36 to 38 degrees Celsius all the year round, and the pH value of water is around 6. According to scientific appraisal, spring water is rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and flows at a speed of 400 liters per second. It not only has magical effects on rheumatism, dermatosis, gynecological diseases, dyspepsia and neurasthenia, but also can be drunk.
