Cemberlitas Hammam

The Çemberlitaş Hammam was built by Sinan in 1584, during the rule of Sultana Nurbanu, born in Venice in the middle of the 15th century and brought to Istanbul by Ottoman courtesans. The distinctive touches of Sinan, the empire's chief architect, can be seen in the magnificent domed interior.

The Baths

The fact that it's the most famous bath in Istanbul also makes it the most expensive, which does not necessarily mean a better service. Some travelers who have visited this bath recently were not very happy with the treatment they received.

The Çemberlitaş Hammam, while open to both men and women, has separate rooms, and treatments are carried out individually. If you're looking for a mixed bath experience, you should go to the Suleymaniyy Hammam.
