Şengül Hamamı, Ottoman bathhouse in Altındağ, Turkey
Şengül Hamamı is a bathhouse built from stone with high ceilings and traditional marble flooring in the bathing rooms. The walls are bonded with horasan mortar, and the chambers feature both domed and vaulted ceilings throughout the structure.
The bathhouse was founded in the second half of the 15th century by Sinan Bey, appointed by the Anatolian Governor İshak Pasha. It changed ownership in 1673 and has belonged to different hands since that time.
The bathhouse maintains separate areas for men and women, where visitors come together to wash and relax following customs that have shaped social life for centuries. This division reflects ways of life that remain visible in how people use the space today.
The facility offers foam oil massages, body scrubs, and various spa treatments in rooms separated by gender. Guests receive complimentary beverages such as soda and ayran during their visit.
The structure incorporates wooden beams between floors combined with traditional stonework, an advanced building technique for its time. This blend of materials allowed the building to remain stable across centuries.
