The original Turkish Bath by Master Architect Sinan

Commisioned by the foundation of Nur-u Banu Sultan, wife of Sultan Selim II, and the mother of Murat III, Çemberlitas public bath was built in 1584. Based on a plan of the legendary Turkish architect Mimar Sinan, the bath is one of the most important works of 16th century Ottoman architecture. Open from early morning to midnight (06-24) throughout the year, the two-chambered bath has seperate sections for women and for men.
And the two identically-sized sections are further divided into functional areas:

*In the lockers area, you can leave your clothes and valuables and put on your "pestemal", or bath towel.
*The hot room has a heated marble platform in the center for sweating and massage, and several skin-rubbing and washing areas surrounding the platform. The usual bath session lasts about an hour or an hour and a half. But here are no time limits; and after you have enjoyed your massage, you are free to rest on the platform for as long as you like before completing your bath.
