Tarihi Paşa Hamamı

The historical pasha bath is really worth seeing. I would like to thank Halil, who is especially interested in the guests, he works by giving the right to the profession.

The lady at the entrance explained a lot of uninformed information about the history of the bath as a guide before we even asked. Be sure to wander and take your souvenir soap.

So so. The building, which is one of the best examples of Ottoman bath architecture and culture, served as a bath section of the complex built by Lala Mustafa Pasha. It is understood that it was built in 1577 according to its foundation. The building, which has been serving as Pasha Bath for many years, has been transformed into a museum where Gaziantep bath culture is maintained by the restoration of Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality in 2015. In the bath, which was exhibited by staying true to its original; There are sections of coldness, warmness, warmth. The bath, tools and equipment belonging to the Halûk Perk collection are on display. In addition to these, the customs of the baths gained visual richness with wax sculptures and the tradition of the baths was revived.

Antebin baths are proud, especially when it is historical, it becomes something different, you learn the old traditions and you breathe history, also the sculptures made are very realistic attention very nice entrance to the museum 2 TL student free

The hamam museum is set in a 15th century hamam and shows the spaces and objects that revolve around the hamam culture in Gaziantep. The museum in its different spaces explains the different rituals of the hammam such as that of newborns or bachelor parties. It also explains in detail the procedures during the bath and recreates some scenes of what was everyday life in public toilets.

The museum is not big, but the essence of the Turkish hammam is shown. There are appropriate old shoes for hamam, utensils. Lots of images. Turkish ceremonies are also represented: a reception in the hammam before the wedding (a ceremony for women) and washing the baby on the 40th day after birth.

Antep's baths are famous-du-. yes, but it shouldn't be a great feat to allow all historical baths to be closed one by one and then turn one into a museum...
