Mahmut Pasha Hamam, Ottoman bathhouse in Mahmutpasa district, Istanbul, Turkey.

The bathhouse features a large domed entrance chamber measuring 17 meters in diameter, followed by two domed steam rooms for different temperature zones.

Grand Vizier Mahmud Pasha established this bathhouse in 1464 as part of a religious complex that included a mosque and other charitable structures.

The building incorporated separate sections for men and women, reflecting the traditional Ottoman social practices regarding public bathing and community gatherings.

The central structure contains an octagonal platform in the hot room where visitors received massages, surrounded by four wall niches for individual washing.

The warm room displays the earliest documented ribbed half-dome design found in Istanbul, marking a significant development in Ottoman architectural techniques.
