Bazaar Bath - a photo on Flickriver

Bazaar Bath

            The Ottoman Empire collapsed a few years before the beginning of World War I. Those parts of Greece still under Ottoman rule were now on the (difficult and complex) road to find a place in a redesigned and independent Greek state. The process of ethnic cleansing in 1922/23 between Turkey and Greece meant that almost all of Greece's Muslims moved to Turkey and the Christian Greeks from Asia Minor back to Greece. Regarding the architecture the Ottomans had left behind, there was the matter of what to do with these buildings. Mosques were usually not turned into churches (unless the building had been a church previously) but often used as cinemas or museums. Shown here is the Ottoman Bath built in the 16th century for the shoppers of the Bazaar nearby. It is often called the Yahoudi Hamam because it is located in what used to be Thessaloniki's Jewish quarter. The building is currently used for exhibitions and the like. Leica M8, Voigtlaender 35/1.4.
