The only preserved object of Ottoman’ architecture in Gevgelija since the end of 19th century is so called “urban hammam”. This site is state protected (Decision No 08-2304/2 of 31.12.2003) and declared as a cultural monument. Hammam (Turkish bath) is located in town center, north of the old town market.

With donations from twin Municipality Karach (Republic of Turkey), our own funds and help from Ministry of Culture, Hammam has been restored, reconstructed and adapted to art gallery that works under responsibility of National Museum. Its dominant and original appearance is preserved with two copper domes (small and large), main room where hammam is placed on a huge central marble pedestal, side benches and a small reception. Hammam has managed to survive and survive for the future generations of Gevgelija.
