Histoire
Comment c'est né
Commissioned by Sultan Murad II soon after the Ottoman conquest, the Bey Hamam served the city as public baths — later nicknamed the 'Baths of Paradise' — for around five centuries until 1968. It is now a protected monument used for exhibitions.
Ce Que Vous Verrez
Lors d'une visite
The sequence of hot and cold rooms under star-pierced domes, the marble fittings, and the surviving painted ornament.
No — the baths closed in 1968 and the building is now a monument and exhibition space, not a working hammam.
It was built in 1444 by Sultan Murad II, only a few years after the Ottoman conquest — making it the grandest Ottoman bathhouse in Greece and the oldest in Thessaloniki. It's a 'double' (çifte) hamam, with separate parallel wings for men and women, and served the city as public baths for over five centuries.
