The Turkish bath is one of unique sights of Evpatoria; it exists and works since the Middle Ages. The name of the builder of this bath is not known. The architecture of a bath differs with simplicity of forms and grace. Above a waiting room the high dome towered. On the architecture the Turkish bath in Yevpatoriya is close to shape to a bath of Solomon in Kefe.

The Turkish Bathhouse was built in the 16th century by Slavic slaves. At that time Eupatoria was one of the biggest centers of slave trade in Europe. By the way, the Bathhouse was used not only by the Ottomans and Crimean Tatars, but also by the Slavic slaves themselves, when their owners wanted to look good for sale.
