The Haseki Hürrem Sultan Hamami (translatable as: "Bath of Roxelana") is a Turkish hamam that was commissioned by Sultan Suleiman I's consort Roxelana and constructed by Sinan during the 16th century in Istanbul. It was constructed for the religious community of the nearby Hagia Sophia. Today it houses a state-owned carpet store, the interior has largely not changed.
