Çinili Bath

The Çinili Hamam, which was built by Kösem Sultan in 1640, was interrupted after the death of the sultan, and then continued by his brother and opened to service. The main purpose of construction of the bath was to serve the masters working for the construction of the mosque, and then the bath, which was decorated with tiles, would appear as a historical monument that has survived to the present day. Although the tiles in the mosque were stolen by thieves before they could survive, the image of tiles was given with the help of blue stones, remaining true to their originality. The bath, which has not undergone much repair work since the day it was built, has not lost much from its first day. So much so that, even after the big earthquake that took place on August 17, 1999, it was able to survive without any damage.

The Çinili Hamam, with a wall thickness of 2 meters, attracted the attention of many production companies, and continued to host TV series and productions both inside and outside. The whole bath is equipped with a natural heating system, during the winter months, heating is provided by throwing approximately 1 ton of wood into large boilers.

For the extra hot weather that occurs especially in the summer months, the solution produced by the management; Approximately 370-year-old lanterns are put into service and the steam inside calms down and allows you to move freely.
