It was probably built in the first quarter of the 19th century, and formed part of the nearby Yeni ("New") Mosque complex.[1] As its name indicates, it was the main market bath for the local neighbourhood. Its layout follows the typical three-part procession from cold to warm found in Ottoman and Roman baths. The bath underwent a restoration in 2000–2001 and is open to the public for visits.[1]
