HAMMAM ÇIFTE (АМАМ АМАМ - HAMAMI ÇIFTE)
In Stara Čaršija, between the Murat-Pasha mosque and the Suli caravanserai, this former hammam (Чифте Амам/Čifte Amam, Çifte Hamami) is covered by two domes and twelve cupolas. It houses temporary exhibitions from the National Gallery. Built around 1450 under the aegis of Ottoman governor Isa-Bey Ishaković, it owes its name to the Turkish term çift, meaning "double": it had one area for women (to the southwest) and another for men (to the northeast). In operation until 1917, it also housed a section reserved for Jewish residents (to the northwest).
