Salonica - Tsifte Hamam Turkish Bath-House

To the southeast of the Lawcourts Square in the center of Salonica, opposite the Panayía Khalkéon, is a large Turkish bath-house, the Tsifte Hamam (= "Double Baths") or Hamam Bey, built in 1444 by Sultan Murad II, which later became known as the Paradise Baths (Loutrá Paradisou). The baths are still in use.
