Abstract:
The study of two turkish baths (hamäm), and the informations of earlyottoman geographers consulted by the author, reveal that these baths belong to the early period of the Ottoman architecture. Both are partly preserved.The first, whose founder was Oruç Pasha is a very original example ofthis kind of utilitarian architecture. It was called Fisilti Hamami (whisperingbath), and was built in the XVth century.The second bath, founded by Ahmet Feridun bey in the XVIth century,is a fine example of classical art of the Ottoman architecture.
