A Masterpiece by Sinan is an invaluable reference chronicling the five-century story of this magnificent cultural heritage site from its construction to the present day as well as the striking aspects that distinguish it from similar structures. Once standing gloriously in Zeyrek that was a prominent district during both Byzantine and Ottoman periods, the hammam afterwards was lost to oblivion behind modern buildings. Product of a two-year painstaking work, the book offers new information that came into light during the thirteen-year-long restoration on top of the already existing academic sources. The articles penned by scholars and experts offers an insight and illuminating information from the sociological aspect of the hammams to Cinili Hamam’s tiles and ornamentation program, from its restoration process to the splendid hammamiye tiles and the journey of its tiles that were sold in Europe in the 19th century.
