Main entrance of the Cağaloğlu Hamam

The Cağaloğlu Hamam is a historic hamam (Turkish bathhouse) in Istanbul, Turkey. Finished in 1741,[1][2] it is one of the last major hamams to be built in Istanbul during the Ottoman period.[3] It was built in Eminönü, in Alemdar, on Hilal-i Ahmer street as a public hamam to raise revenue for the library of Sultan Mahmud I situated inside the Ayasofya.[1] It was begun by one of the head architects of that time, Suleyman Ağa, and finished by Abdullah Ağa.[3] The structure consists of a double hamam: a bathhouse for men and another for women.[1] The layout follows the long-established traditional form of hammams, though the architectural details and decoration are in the later Ottoman Baroque style of the 18th century.[2]
