Have you ever been in a Turkish Bath ?
If you haven't,
you've missed one of life's great experiences
and
never been clean!

Cagaloglu Hamami was built by a sultan more than 300 years ago. Although the date of the construction and the name of the architect of the hamam is not known, it is said to have been built in the beginning of the 18th century. It is also said that the construction is one of Sinan's works of art.

These double baths, in which only the changing-rooms have been changed since 1969-1971, now consist of two parts, one for women and the other for men in a 2834 sq.m area.

King Edward John VIII, Kaiser Wilhelm, Franz Liszt and Florence Nightingale have all been here for a royal experience. Besides today's well known personalities, King Fahd, Rockefeller, Tony Curtis, Richard Harrison came to Cagaloglu Hamami during their visits to Istanbul.

In this excellent three hundred year old Turkish bathing temple one hundred and thirty-eight TV films have been shot. Six of them were productions for German TV. Seven of them were thematic films (Indiana Jones) and one of them a commercial for Visa card. The world press has written about the wonderful architecture many times, including four times in the New York Times and three times in the pages of Geo. The press has much praised this bathing temple.
