Büyük Hamam, Ottoman bathhouse in Nicosia, Cyprus
The Büyük Hamam building contains three sections: a changing room, a warming area, and the main hot chamber with a central massage platform.
Originally built as Saint George of the Latins Church in 1306, the structure was converted into a Turkish bathhouse between 1571 and 1590 during Ottoman rule.
The bathhouse served as a gathering center where women would meet to exchange news, share meals, and participate in social activities during the Ottoman period.
The entrance sits two meters below current ground level, and the facility offers traditional peeling treatments and massages with aromatic oils and foam.
Gothic reliefs from the original Latin church remain visible at the entrance, combining medieval Christian architecture with Ottoman bath design elements.
