Hammam is a traditional form of bath. It is a place where the body is cleansed and relaxed through steam and warmth. The hammam consists of several areas, starting with a warm-up room and ending in the main bath, where exfoliation and massages take place. It symbolizes cleanliness, health and social gathering, as it was a meeting point for men and women at different times of the day.
From ancient times there was the habit of the hammam.
The combination of Greco-Roman customs with some Ottoman elements gave rise to the process of bathing, cleansing, purification for the soul and body...
Hippocrates and Asclepius recommended hydrotherapy as a medicine in combination with massage for the prevention and treatment of body injuries.
Beyond cleanliness, the hammam was a place of social contact, well-being and relaxation, a living part of the cities within the daily programs.
