Hagia Sophia Hurrem Sultan Bath (Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Hamamı) is located in an area between Hagia Sophia Museum and Blue Mosque. The bath was built by Mimar Sinan, the wife of Suleiman the Magnificent, Hürrem Sultan, between 1556 and 1557. Until 1910, the bathhouse, where prisoners were kept and used as a paper and gas tank, remained closed for many years.
It was repaired in 1957-1958 and was used as a public carpet sales store until 2008. The biggest feature of the Hagia Sophia Hürrem Sultan Bath, which was started to be used as a bath afterwards, was that the women and men were built on the same axis for the first time. This is also an indication that Mimar Sinan broke new ground in traditional bath construction.
Hagia Sophia Hurrem Sultan Bath is divided into three sections: cold, warm and warm. In the cold room; There are VIP rooms, private rooms, locker cabinets, massage rooms, relaxation area, a boutique where specially manufactured products are sold.
The temperature area, which consists of navel stones and iwans, is ideal for sweating. The warm section is also an area where the pouch is served after sweating in the temperature section. There is also a private restaurant in the bath.
