AND BEYOND

NAZAR BONCUĞU

There is probably no culture in the world, which is free from the clutches of superstition and to counter these

superstitions, in every culture you will find people taking recourse to charms and talismans. The Turkish Evil Eye Pendants or the "nazar boncugu" is the Turkish means of keeping at bay

the ills brought on by envious and greedy eyes.

There are no dearth of skeptics to question the powers of lucky charms and talismans. Nor are there people who wouldn`t

scoff at the idea of the eye being evil and there being actually a pendant to protect oneself from this evil. But the Turkish Evil Eye pendant has almost become a Turkish institution, given

its widespread presence in the Turkish social echelons and the undying faith of the people in its protective powers.

TURKISH COFFE

A Turkish proverb says, `Bir fincan kahvenin 40 yil hatiri vardir (One cup

of coffee remains in memories for 40 years)`. Turkish coffee is not merely a beverage that you have in the midst of a

busy day to have your daily caffeine fix. It is a way of life for the Turkish people and quite central to their social, political and religious customs. Follow through the pages of this article to learn more about Turkish coffee

and its role in Turkish life.

TURKISH TEA

One of the most common sights you see on your visit to Turkey is the tea house where you will find people, mostly men - drinking hot steaming tea

from tulip shaped glasses. Turkey is the fifth largest tea-drinking nation in the world and has a distinct way of

making and drinking tea that makes it unique. With the change of times, the traditional tea houses are giving way to pubs that serve other interesting drinks like the `Boza`, but the charm of the old tea houses

remain. Make sure you do not miss this unique form of hospitality when you are on a visit to Turkey.

TURKISH DELIGHT

The flavors of Turkey are as unique and exotic as her sights and sounds. It is

no wonder that her eateries are always chock-a-bloc with foodies. The Turkish

Delight or Lokum is one such delicacy, which is not just popular in Turkey, but has found favor with tourists from all over the world.

It is not very often that you find a food, which is a national institution. In this respect, the

Turkish Delight commands the same respect that is accorded to the French wine or the

Swiss cheese or the Dutch chocolates.

Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamam in Istanbul was designed and built by Mimar Sinan, the chief Ottoman architect. It was built at the

request of Hurrem Sultan (Roxelana), the wife of

Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century

(1556-1557 AD). It was built where the ancient public

baths of Zeuxippus (100-200 AD) used to stand,

between the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia. The

area is also particularly significant as the site where

the Temple of Zeus once stood.

H-12 / Ist - Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Turkish Bath

“I hope that until the end of days, good hearted friends who take a look at what I have made, when they will perceive the seriousness and the spirit of my effort, can have a fair view and can invoke my name to pray for me.”

Mimar Sinan, Architect

The hamam was operational until 1910 when it closed for many years. It was later used to house the convicts during times when the nearby Sultanahmet Prison was full. Subsequently it was a storage place for paper and oil. The Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamam, one of the most beautiful monuments in Istanbul, was restored for the first time between the years 1957-1958 and was a carpet bazaar until 2007.

Although the hamam was built in the classical period Ottoman bath style, it was an innovation in Turkish bath architecture to have the sections for men and women constructed on the same axis as mirror images of each other.

The history of public baths stretches as far back as the Romans. Excavations carried out in the city of Pompeii (800BC-74AD), preserved by ash following the eruption of the Vesuvius, uncovered the baths that were used by the Romans. These baths were not just for practical purposes, but also for the art of pleasure and entertainment. The class differences in the Roman Empire meant that, at the entrance gates, the washing places of the slaves and nobles were separated. The Roman bath consisted of the steam room and hot and cold water pools.

The Byzantines continued the rich heritage of the Romans, including their bath culture, and in turn influenced the Ottomans. At the height of the Ottoman empire, every neighborhood of Istanbul had a hamam with hot and cold baths, fountains and domed marble rooms. There were days each week when they were

THE HAMAM CULTURE

HURREM SULTAN (ROXELANA) / 1506 - 1558

Hurrem Sultan was born in Rohatyn within the borders of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, which is today western Ukraine. She was kidnapped by Tatars during one of their raids in 1520 when she was just 14 years old and taken under the protection of the Crimean Khan.

She was later presented to the Ottoman palace to start her life in the harem of the Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent. Hurrem gained the attention of Suleiman and was one of the few women to be officially married to an Ottoman sultan. Her influence on Suleiman was well known and is thought to have even reached the politics within the Ottoman court. Hurrem commissioned many public buildings as part of her charitable work, including the Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamam.

Together with Suleiman the Magnificent, Hurrem had one girl, Princess Mihrimah, and five boys, the princes Mehmed, Selim, Bayezid and Cihangir.

Hurrem Sultan passed away on April 18, 1558 at the age of 52, eight years before her husband Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. She did not witness the enthronement of her son Selim II who became Suleiman’s successor in 1566 AD.

open exclusively for women. The main reason why the baths took such an important place in Ottoman culture was for religious purposes. According to the Koran, cleanliness is not just an important but a fundamental part of the faith. These marble temples also provided a meeting place for locals to partake in conversation along with bathing and massage.It was customary for the wealthy to come to the bath with a silk towel, comb, henna, kohl, soap from Crete, mother of pearl inlaid sandals and in the company of servants. This elaborate preparation was due to the fact that the time spent in the hamam was not just an hour but took up most of the day. For the past one thousand years, the hamam tradition has been important for cleanliness and health but also for entertainment and social gatherings. These traditions have been reinterpreted for the modern culture in the Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamam.

Among the temples, palaces and agora’s, the Asclepion, which were constructed in the course of one century, belonged the big Zeus Altar and the Parchment Library. They stand as the most brilliant Works of Art of the fourth and third century B.C. in Anatolia. The Parchment Library housed the most famous collection of Books of that time, written on a type of processed lamb and goat skins.
