Turkish Baths

Dorjan is a beautiful city with many monuments which tell a lot about its rich history and culture. Dojran was destroyed, built, burnt and reconstructed several times. That is the main reason why in the city, there are many churches, clock towers, schools and baths which stem from different periods, cultures and people.

One of the most beautiful historical sites in Macedonia as well as in Dojran in particular, bears the name Amam which is a Turkish word for bath. This Turkish Bath was very popular and frequented by many people as it was the only one in the city. It is not known when the Amam was built, but it is believed that it was open every day until 1916 when it was destroyed. These days, only ruins left from this beautiful building but it is proved that it consisted of several rooms and in each room there was a faucet. There were rooms for men and women separately, the water was heated in a huge kettle and transported to these rooms through tubes.

It is interesting the fact that despite Turkish, the Bath was visited by people from different nationalities and today it is a significant cultural monument and popular place in Dojran.
