Guide
The bath at Mudurnu stands opposite the Yıldırım Bayezid Mosque, and according to the inscription over the men's entrance and the summary of its endowment deed it was built in 1382 by Bayezid I, who had it made by Ömer bin İbrahim. It is a double bath, with the men's changing room to the east and the women's to the west, and it is still working as a bath.
The walls throughout are rubble stone; only the eaves mouldings are cut stone, and the joints between the stones are pointed. On the entrance front the walls are very thick, and the entrance runs between them as a passage, with muqarnas ornament above the door. Over a square plan the walls carry a dome hidden inside a drum that is cylindrical at first and then made octagonal, covered outside by a low pyramidal tiled roof. Large iwans flank the hot room on its east and west sides. In the private chamber opening off the men's hot room, muqarnas piers rise from the middle of each of the four sides. The women's changing room is a nearly square rectangle with a wooden ceiling, and their hot room is domed at the centre with two iwans at the sides and private chambers. A recent repair has replaced much of the wall stone apart from the portal.
