Özet:

The city of Ankara is a geographical area that has hosted many civilizations since ancient times. In the city, where many historical buildings such as mosques, masjids, inns and baths from the Seljuks and especially Ottoman times are located, some of these disappeared due to unconsciousness, fire, natural disasters and public works. The subject of this research is based on a typological study of historical bath buildings in the city. For this purpose, firstly the historical development of baths and bathing culture was emphasized by scanning the literature, and then the historical bath buildings in the city were determined. After the source and archive research was carried out on the identified structures, they were examined on site. Many monumental structures were built in the city of Ankara during the Anatolian Seljuks, Principalities and Ottoman periods. The exact location of the Cenabi Ahmet Pasha Bath, Hasan Pasha Bath, Tahtakale (Kaledibi) Bath, Bey Bath, Sultan Bath, which were built during these periods and were the subject of the study, could not be determined, and the Keçeciler Bath, located in the city-center, could not survive until today. Within the scope of the study, Altındağ Şengül Bath, Karacabey Bath, Eynebey Bath, the house bath adjacent to Eskicioğlu Mosque, Kızılcahamam Sey Bath, Beypazarı Rüstem Pasha Bath and Beyoğlu Bath, Ayaş Pasha (Municipal) Bath and Karakaya Bath were examined. Although there are many studies on bath structures in Anatolia, there is no detailed study on historical baths in Ankara. The aim of this study is to evaluate the historical bath buildings in Ankara typologically in the context of following the changes in the bathing culture in the society and to draw attention to the issue of preserving these structures within the framework of cultural continuity. With this means, it is aimed to create a holistic data for the conservation of these structures. In addition, it is thought that the study can be a source for the condervation of the examined structures and future intervention decisions. The fact that some of the identified structures were demolished and there is no sufficient information at hand, regarding these structures, constitute the limitation of this study.
