HISTORICAL CINILI HAMAM

The Chinese Bath was built by Kösem Sultan in 1640. Kösem Sultan died when the women's section of the bath was over and the construction continued with his brother. During construction, the chinese mosque, the library police station and the hammam were built as 4 works together. The Chinese Bath was built for the washing of the masters working on the construction of the Chinese Mosque. Do not mislead you that your name is tiled! The Chinese who named the bath were unfortunately stolen by thieves. However, the operators of the baths remained faithful to the original concept by using blue stones on the walls. There is not much change in the whole of the bathhouse, and all the features of the outside dome are preserved until today. The reliefs on the marbles found in the baths bear the traces of history. Only the door knockers and wall paints have been renovated without disturbing the natural structure of the building. The wall thickness of the bath which does not suffer any damage even in the August earthquake is 2 meters. Many series producers and photographers who have discovered the historical features and beauty of the Chinese Hamam have been the subject of films and magazines that filmed in this bath. The Chinese Bath has a completely natural heating system. There is a big boiler under the part of the two dome that is closer to the women's side. In the winter months, about 1 ton of wood is burned and the heat is flowing through the walls through the pipes. The smoke from the so-called "rifle" is thrown out to the outside. 370-year-old domes There are many features that distinguish the Chinese Hamam from other baths. The most important thing in a bath should be cleaning and hygiene. The most important aspect of the Chinese Bath Authority is; Good service and cleanliness. When you enter through the gates of the baths you get a bad smell, but it smells of history instead of a bad smell in the Chinese Hamam. The Buddha is the biggest spa of being a clean bath. Generally, the baths have a depressed and closed atmosphere. However, there is no air in the Chinese Hamam. The reason for this is that it has a large area and its domes are quite high. The holes in the bathtub's dome allow the light to enter, while when it is too hot, the 370-year-old fans on the dome are removed and the bath is ventilated.
