Çarşı Hammam (Bath)
Merkez, Çankırı
The best-known example of Ottoman-era Çankırı hammams, adjoining the Ali Bey Mosque, with a cross-plan double-bath layout.
Its story
Çarşı Hammam is an example of the cross-shaped double hammams of the Ottoman period and is estimated to have been built at the same time as the adjoining Ali Bey Mosque. The cold section, entered through a round-arched door, is covered by a dome in the middle and half domes at the sides. The hot section is domed, with domed private cubicles at its four corners; the women's section has the same plan. The hammam has been restored by Çankırı Municipality. Since its service and visiting status may change seasonally, ask in advance.
