The Haseki Hürrem Sultan Baths were built in 16th century for Hürrem
Sultan, known as Roxelana. The building is situated just opposite the
Hagia Sophia Mosque in Sultanahmet, Istanbul. The building is now used
as a carpet sale center and the sales exhibition includes new Turkish rugs
and carpets. Entrance is free. This old Hamam is interesting and
peacefully and you can look at the sales exhibition without being pressed
to buy. |
