Pazar Hamamı, also known as the Ottoman Bath or Double Bath, is an Early Ottoman (16th century) double hamam situated near Kale Kapısı in Antalya, in a historic commercial quarter outside the city walls close to Balbey Mosque and the Single and Double Door Inns. It is the largest and most intact historic bathhouse in Antalya, built with block stone around openings and rubble‑stone main walls and upper floor. The plan has a western men's section and an eastern women's section: the men's dressing hall, now the principal entrance, is a high‑domed space leading to a three‑domed warm room and a hot room with four iwans, four halvet cells and a central octagonal navel stone; the smaller women's suite includes a partially domed dressing area, a hot room with three iwans and two corner private rooms. Currently adapted for souvenir‑related commercial use, the building exemplifies early Ottoman architecture and social bathing culture; its domes, steps and compact interiors are characteristic features that may affect physical accessibility.
