Its story
The Şahmaran Hamamı is in the historic center of Tarsus, near the Makam Mosque and the Shrine of the Prophet Daniel. In the legend of Şahmaran, one of the widespread folk tales of Anatolia, it is told that Şahmaran, the queen of the snakes, was killed in a bath in Tarsus, and the hamam has become identified with this legend. It can be added to a walk through the historic center together with the Kırkkaşık Bedesten, the Ulu Mosque and the Old Tarsus houses.
