The Omeriye Hamam is in the old town of Lefkosia (Nicosia), next to the Omeriye Mosque and not far from the Archbishop’s Palace. It was built in 1570 - 71 as a donation by Lala Mustafa Pasha to the city after the island fell to the Ottomans. The bath complex or hamam was dedicated to the Caliph Omar and the area became known as Omeriye. The entrance on the south side of the building led first into a small courtyard and then into the reception - hall. This has a vaulted roof and an octagonal cistern in the middle. Behind that hall, there are two rooms of medium temperature and behind these the warm, vaulted room.
In 2005 he received the Europa Nostra award for Architectural Heritage.
Since then HAMAM has been a combination of ritual and ritual for purification of body and soul.
Today at Hamam Omerye, we bring you the then traditional rejuvenation. Bathing and grooming become an experience of emotions and relaxation.
Escape from everyday life, indulge in the healing properties of the bath and enjoy a deep exfoliation and a soothing massage. Relax by drinking oriental tea and continue your day or night in the centre of our city.
