Darghouth Turkish Bath, Ottoman bathhouse in Old Medina, Tripoli, Libya
The Darghouth Turkish Bath features multiple chambers with domed ceilings, decorated tiles, and a sequence of temperature-controlled pools for different bathing stages.
Built in 1670, this bathhouse stands next to the Sidi Darghut Mosque and tomb, named after Turgut, an Ottoman naval commander of the period.
The hammam maintains traditional bathing practices where visitors progress through steam rooms, exfoliation treatments, and warm water rinses according to Ottoman customs.
The facility provides separate bathing times for men and women, with attendants offering traditional scrubbing services and massage treatments throughout operating hours.
The interior architecture incorporates specialized ventilation systems that regulate humidity and temperature across different chambers without modern climate control equipment.
