Büyük Hamam History
Lefkoşa Büyük Hamam: A Touch from 1571
When you step through the door, you are not just entering a spa centre—you are becoming a guest in the living heart of over 550 years of history. While artifacts in museums cannot be touched and historic palaces can only be observed from afar, at the Lefkoşa Büyük Hamam, you have the privilege of integrating with history itself.
Serving under the same dome with the same mission since 1571, this venue transforms the traditional Turkish Hammam ritual into a high-quality wellness experience. Every service you receive here is a part of a centuries-old story; you are invited to embark on an unforgettable journey through time while resting your soul.
