Tahtali Hamam (Turkish bath) in Malatya has been used for its intended purpose for more than 200 years. This is the oldest hamam in the city and one of the most amazing examples of Ottoman architecture. Because of its large age, the bath has more than once been at risk of being dismantled. However, the local municipality made every effort to ensure that the hammam continued to receive guests and residents of the city.

Today Tahtali Hamam is not only a bath, but also a small museum that tells about the culture of public baths in Turkey. This place is very popular among tourists, as it allows not only to see what hamam is, but also to feel it for yourself.

History of Tahtali Hamam

The exact date of construction of Tahtali Hamam set today is no longer possible. However, most historians agree that a bath has existed and has been used for at least 200 years. It is amazing how well preserved the building of the Ottoman Empire is to this day. After a series of restoration works, in 2018 a museum was opened here. The exhibits here include bath accessories, dishes and furnishings, with the help of dummies created scenes from the life of ordinary visitors to the hamam.
