Its story
The Paşa Hammam is regarded as part of the Canbolat Paşa Complex. The TDV Encyclopedia of Islam gives the hammam's date as 975 (1567), while a recent academic study on the complex points to the dates 1553 and 1560. Together with the Hoca, Eski, Hasan Bey and Tuğlu hammams in Kilis, it is one of the buildings keeping the city's hammam tradition alive. With its domed hot section and cut-stone walls, it reflects the classical Ottoman hammam plan. It is on Küçük Çarşı Caddesi, a few steps from the Ulu Mosque and the Tekye Mosque on a tour of the historic center.
