Its story
The hamam is on the south side of 1. Cadde in old Mardin. Because of its similarities to the Roman-period baths in Diyarbakır and Bayburt, it is thought that it may have been built before the Artuqid period. In the changing section, consisting of two large domed spaces side by side, three iwans open along the walls. The hot section, entered through a narrow door, develops in a star shape with a wide central dome, the iwans around it and the rooms between them. According to the provincial directorate of culture and tourism, the hamam still operates today; for those who want to see the building, it is an important part of Mardin's old urban life.
