"Hammam: A Journey Through Time and Culture" Step into the world of hammams, where history, art, and relaxation intertwine. From noble ladies in Constantinople to the bustling streets of Algeria, these Turkish baths have left an indelible mark on various civilizations. In late 16th century Constantinople, a noble lady gracefully dons her Hammam shoes. Captured by artist Vanmour, this exquisite depiction showcases the elegance associated with these ancient bathing rituals. Fast forward to 1825 Russia, where an oil painting captures the essence of a Russian bath. The steam rises as people immerse themselves in this cleansing experience that transcends borders. Traveling back to Ottoman-era Constantinople, we find ourselves in awe of the Sultan's bath. This opulent sanctuary served as a haven for royalty and symbolized their power and prestige. But it wasn't just men who indulged in these luxurious retreats; women too had their own Turkish baths. Engravings from the 19th century depict women enjoying moments of tranquility amidst beautifully adorned interiors. The allure of hammams continued well into the 19th century when an oil painting titled "The Turkish Bath" captured its timeless charm on panel. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, traditions hold steadfast. Mosaics adorning bathhouses tell stories untold - intricate designs showcasing cultural motifs dating back to 1907 reveal glimpses into a rich heritage passed down through generations. Venturing beyond Turkey's borders takes us to Granada's Alhambra Palace in the 19th century. A plan reveals how even Spanish architecture was influenced by hammams' architectural beauty and functionality. From picturesque Algerian streets to historical gems like Hammam El Andalus Arab Baths from the 14th century – each corner holds secrets waiting to be discovered within its walls. Finally, we arrive at Topkapi Palace in Istanbul – the epitome of grandeur.
