Hammam al-Nahhasin (Arabic: حمام النحاسين) is one of the oldest and largest public baths (hammam or Turkish bath) in Aleppo, Syria.[1] It is located in Al-Madina Souq of the Ancient City of Aleppo, to the south of the Great Umayyad Mosque, near Khan al-Nahhasin.[2]
It was originally built in the 12th century by order from Aisha bint Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi and renovated several times during the Mamluk and Ottoman periods.[1] However, most of the current building of the hammam belongs to the Ottoman period.[3] Hammam al-Nahhasin literally means the bath of the coppersmiths.
