Waste of money- exhibits are written in tiny, poor English offering no information other than the blindingly obvious. The “museum” takes about 4 minutes to see and consists of soap and bath towels. Do yourself a favour and skip the €4 entrance and use the money to buy a bar of nice soap from the gift shop.

A sneak into how the Ottomans lived, ate and enjoyed at the Hammam. The museum is very small though.

Good to tell young kids something about hammam. Clean, but it does not deserve a visit.

The use of public baths (hammam) was common practice in the Ottoman era. The Turkish public bath near the Tabačica mosque and the Tabhana (the town district encompassing leather processing workshops) was built between the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century in the classical Ottoman architectural style. It is the only Turkish bath still existing in Mostar and one of the few remaining examples in the whole of Herzegovina.The Hammam comprises a central room used as an antechamber, an intermediate space (tepidarium) and the room for the bath itself, called calidarium.This type of building is conceived for a purely functional, public use without any pretence to opulence: the external parts usually have no decorations and, surrounding the Turkish bath, there often stands a mosque, an Islamic school or a public kitchen. The Cejvan Ćehajin Hamam has no windows and has a roof made of domes designed to protect the privacy of its users. At the end of the Ottoman era, the Bath ceased to be used and, restored during the reconstruction of the historic centre, thanks to the aid of France and Turkey, it is nowadays used to host exhibitions and cultural events.
