In general, the Turkish bath is not the Turkish invention. Turks have adopted the construction architecture of hot baths from Arabs. The last, in turn, borrowed them from people in Roman Empire. In Turkish baths the bottom part of a bath gets warm hot air, due to a vent pipe of the furnace which is passing beneath a floor of warmed up rooms. The last is based on a longitudinal axis of a chimney.
The warmest room is situated in the center and has octagonal form, as a rule. Its parts are adjoined with steam rooms - the hot rooms are equipped by pools. These premises were made without windows - light gets into through thick glasses in a dome.
The conventional structure of the Hammam looks like the sequence of rooms leading inward toward the heated room. After coming from the street, visitors enter a big dressing room with wooden benches on which bathers leave their clothes and put them in bags to be deposited by the keeper.
The Hammam leads inward through huge and small tiled rooms - sometimes with vaulted ceilings, getting gradually hotter near the center room with the only water source.
In the central room, water pours into two separate containers: the cold one and enormously hot. The water is frequently heated by ovens stoked with wood chips. They regularly serve as the ordinary bread oven. Visitors draw their own water in buckets and sit on the tiled floors alongside the walls. From this vantage position, Turk watches the spectacle of other families, talks to his neighbor, or relaxes and washes meditatively. Depending on the time of day or week, the Hammam may be a quiet shelter or a cacophonous gallery of children's voices.
The main entrance to the hall is centered in the southwestern façade. The same as the audience hall, a recess of the south-eastern wall directs into two little side rooms each one comprising three narrow windows.
