Byzantine Bath, Roman bathhouse in Upper Town, Greece.

The Byzantine Bath features separate chambers for changing, warm bathing, and hot bathing, connected by passages with vaulted ceilings and domed structures.

Built in the late 12th century, this bathhouse operated continuously until 1940, serving as both a Byzantine facility and Ottoman hammam known as Kule Hammam.

The bath complex demonstrates the evolution of public bathing practices, from Byzantine times when men and women used it alternately to Ottoman era gender separation.

Located on Theotokopoulou Street, the restored bathhouse now functions as a museum, allowing visitors to explore the ancient heating systems and architectural elements.

The structure remains the only surviving public bath in Thessaloniki and represents the largest complete Byzantine bath preserved in Greece.
