Title
The Cemberlitas Hamami
Description
The Cemberlitas Hamami was built in 1584 and is credited to eminent Islamic architect, Mimar Sinan. Located in Istanbul, Turkey, this bathhouse has two separate sections for men and women, each with separate entrances. Customarily, bathhouses accommodated both sexes by allocating single-sex access throughout the week. The Cemberlitas Hamami’s simultaneous accommodation of both sexes allows the bathhouse, a central social institution in the Islamic world, to serve and connect its community more fully.
