I have traveled to many cities in Turkey , where I was born and raised. I saw different cultures and discovered new places. Undoubtedly, one of the best and most important aspects of of the culture was the Turkish bath or hamam. So what is hamam? The history of the hamam dates back to the ancient Romans. Specially designed hot and cold water baths, designed for washing, were important structures of the Ottoman period.

Every sultan had their own. The most important hamams are those by Mimar Sinan, who was one of the finest Turkish architects. Baths are similar to mosques in terms of architecture. For example, both feature a central dome. Massage is a central part of the ritual surrounding the Turkish bath, to relax and clean the body.
