History of Gedikpasa Hamami

550 Years of History : “Historical Experience, Unique Peace”

Gedikpasa Hamami, situated in old city part of Istanbul, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Turkish bathhouses dating back to the Ottoman era. Commissioned by Gedik Ahmet Pasha, a prominent military commander during the reign of Sultan Mehmed II, the construction of the hamam was completed in 1475. This historical landmark has since retained its architectural charm and cultural significance through various periods of restoration and preservation efforts.

The hamam follows the traditional layout typical of Turkish bathhouses, featuring separate sections for men and women. Its design highlights intricate tile work, domed ceilings, and marble interiors, all characteristic of Ottoman-era architecture. Such features not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also contribute to the authentic experience of Turkish bathing rituals.
