Hamam Omerye Baths, Ottoman hammam in Nicosia, Cyprus.

The marble-clad bathhouse features a central domed chamber with polygonal benches and traditional fountains delivering warm and cold water throughout the space.

Built in 1570 by Lala Mustafa Pasha on the site of a 14th-century Augustinian church, the hammam was named after Caliph Omar following Ottoman control.

The hammam maintains the tradition of separate bathing schedules for men and women, following centuries-old customs of Ottoman social gathering and cleansing rituals.

Located at 8 Tyllirias Square in Nicosia's old town, the facility operates Tuesday through Friday with specific hours designated for male and female visitors.

The 2004 restoration project earned the Europa Nostra Award for preserving the original architectural elements while integrating modern spa facilities.
