Its story
Lazlar Hammam is located in the Yeni Hamam Bazaar in Balıkesir's Hisariçi neighborhood. Thought to have been built in the 18th century, the building retains the classic Turkish bath plan and was registered as an immovable cultural property in 1986. Having kept its original character despite various repairs, the hammam is still used by local residents. With its domed hot room and central heated stone (göbek taşı), it is a living example of old city life.
