Germiyanoğlu (Vakıflar) Hammam
Merkezefendi, Denizli
A double hammam in Bayramyeri, right next to the Atatürk and Ethnography Museum, regarded as one of Denizli's oldest surviving buildings.
Its story
Known as the Germiyanoğlu or Vakıflar Hammam, the building, with a history of about 700 years, is regarded as one of the oldest surviving buildings in Denizli. It was built as a double hammam with separate sections for women and men, and reflects the classic Turkish bath plan with its cool room, warm room, hot room and furnace (külhan) sections. Today the men's section still operates as a hammam, while the women's section is used as a separate business. With the approval of the conservation board, Denizli Metropolitan Municipality removed the makeshift additions around the hammam and the adjoining office block, making the building visible together with the neighboring Atatürk House.
