Located in Cagaloglu on the right side of the Yerebatan Street, these baths were built by Sultan Mahmut I in 1741 to provide revenue for Ayasofya Mosque. The architect is unknown.
Cagaloglu Hamam is a double hamam with section for both men and women. It was unique in its employment of Baroque and Classic Ottoman architectural motifs and was the last of the great hamams to be built before their construction was forbidden by Sultan Mustafa III in 1768, owing to the increasing needs for water and wood in Istanbul.
