Shahmeran Hamam, Turkish bath in Tarsus, Turkey
The rectangular stone bathhouse features four iwans, a central dome, and ten wooden private rooms for individual bathing experiences.
Built on Roman bath foundations by the Ramazanids between the 14th and 16th centuries, the structure underwent restoration during the Ottoman period in 1873.
The bathhouse carries the name of Shahmaran, a mythical creature from Turkish folklore depicted as half-woman and half-snake ruling over all snakes.
Located in the Kızılmurat district of Tarsus, the hamam continues to function as a traditional Turkish bath with separate facilities.
Red spots on the hamam walls are linked to the legend of Shahmaran, marking the location where the mythical creature met its end.
