RE: The Haseki Hürrem Sultan Hamamı In Istanbul Turkey

in #travel7 years ago

All the big mosques had a hammam, located in the building or in its surroundings.
Of course, the Basilica-Hagia Sophia does not depart from this rule.
This very elegant hammam is called Haseki Hürrem and was built in the sixteenth century in honor of Roxelana, the wife of Sultan Suleiman.
Currently, the monument houses a valuable carpet exhibition.
