Zeyrek Çinili Hamam

Zeyrek Çinili Hamam is a 16th-century Ottoman bathhouse designed by the legendary architect Mimar Sinan, which, after 13 years of restoration, has been reborn as a fascinating cultural center.

The interiors are decorated with original Iznik tiles in intense blues and whites—once scattered around museums around the world, now gathered in one place. Underneath the building, 1,500-year-old Byzantine cisterns were discovered and ingeniously incorporated into the modern space.

The museum offers four themed exhibitions, light installations simulating water, and traditional bathing rituals. The combination of Ottoman engineering and contemporary art creates an unforgettable atmosphere.
