Historical Transformation of Cultural Heritage Conservation Policies in Turkey with Special Reference to Çemberlitaş Hamam (1951-2004)

Abstract

Among the traditional Turkish baths built in Istanbul during the Ottoman period, Çemberlitaş Hamam is an important example of cultural heritage in the country and internationally, with its location, scale, architecture and historical context. This study discusses the architectural features of Çemberlitaş Hamam, its historical development until the 1950s, and its physical and functional transformation. Since 1951 and the establishment of the High Council for the Historical Real Estate and Monuments, the change in this cultural heritage has been determined in line with the council’s decisions regarding Çemberlitaş Hamam and evaluated in this context. Thus, this article is aimed at revealing the historical transformation of cultural heritage conservation policies in Turkey with a special focus on the Çemberlitaş Hamam.
