Sık Dişini Helası, Ottoman public toilet in Sulusokak, Turkey
The stone structure features a domed roof and stands as a testament to urban planning in the historical district of Tokat.
Built during the 1600s, this facility served as the first public toilet in Anatolia, catering to merchants and residents of the commercial district.
The name translates to 'hold your pee toilet', reflecting the long queues that formed as people waited for their turn at this single facility.
The building has been transformed into the Water and Cleaning Museum, displaying historical artifacts related to Ottoman sanitation practices.
During renovation work, workers discovered that one-third of the original structure was buried underground, revealing additional historical elements.
