Famagusta

Cafer Pasha Hammam

  Kışla Yolu Sk     27 Nov 2023
If you stand on the corner of Namik Kemal and Kışla Yolu streets, on the western edge of Namik Kemal Square, facing what remains of the 13th century Church of St Francis, you might wonder what the smaller, yet more intact, domed structure just to the right of the ruined church is. Well, that would be the former Turkish baths (or hammam), which was both built from the rubble of the church, as well as conjoined with it, making it impossible to tell exactly where the ruined church ends and the Turkish baths begin. A cool, if somewhat slightly bizarre, fusion of cultures and history if you ask us. Although nowadays there's not too much to see aside from the facade and a small information board.
