It is located in the Lower Town and it originates from the eighteenth century. There was a powder magazine at the place of today’s Hamam, which was destroyed in an explosion in 1690, together with surrounding buildings and a part of the old wall, creating a cutting in the hill. In this cutting the Turks made a bathroom, i.e. hamam. In 1944, Hamam was severely damaged as a result of an explosion of another powder magazine. It was reconstructed in 1961 and restored to its original form.
