The ancient Turkish bath culture is being revived spectacularly in Istanbul. After years of painstaking restoration, the 500-year-old Zeyrek Cinili Hamam is reopening its ornately tiled doors to the public in late March as a museum showcasing the bathhouse’s stunning architecture and Istanbul’s rich hammam heritage.  <\/p>\n

This long-abandoned bathhouse, with its exquisite tiles and domed ceilings, is being transformed into a major new museum attraction in Istanbul’s historic Fatih district. The hammam’s meticulously restored interior is a fitting backdrop for learning about the rituals and traditions of Turkish bath culture. The grand reopening of the Zeyrek Cinili Hamam   marks the return of this 16th-century architectural jewel to its former glory after over 50 years of neglect and deterioration.<\/p>\n

Turkish bath is an integral part of the city’s cultural identity and this ambitious project aims to preserve and promote one of Istanbul’s most iconic hammams. The Zeyrek Cinili Hamam is now also a living museum. A step back in time and experience the grandeur and majesty of this ritual bathing space.<\/p>\n
