@article{2013,title={A BATH SAMPLE BELONGS TO THE OTTOMAN ARCHITECTURE OF FOUNDATION PERIOD: SAKARYA-TARAKLI YUNUS PASHA BATH},abstractNode={Tarakli County, belongs to Sakarya province, is situated 65 km far from the province center. Its being one of the Ottoman’s first settlement place, and with its historical houses, bazaar, fountain and bath it seems as if it were a open-air museum, at the same time with its splendid natural beauties Tarakli draws domestic and foreign tourists’ attentions. Stated in the center of county, Yunus Pasha Bath is one the early time samples of the foundation period of Ottoman bath architecture. The construction is in the typology of Ottoman bath architecture’s “mid-domed transversal temperature and double celled bath.” The bath, not used today and remained below form its ground, doesn’t have a coldness part. Over this probably collapsed part a new building was built. The entrance to this rubble stone construction is provided through the later added duplex building situated in western part. On the bath, whose inner walls were covered with marbles at some restoration, there is no sign or inscription that shows its date of construction. With its so closeness to the Yunus Pasha Mosque at first glance it could be thought as a part of the mosque but, when examining its architectural specifications it is guessed that it is constructed earlier from the mosque nearly in the end of XIV century or in the first quarter of XV century. Having an important place in the Tarakli people’s social life Yunus Pasha Bath having the characteristics of the foundation period Ottoman architecture and its being Tarakli’s oldest construction belonging to today has a great significance. },author={Yusuf ÇETİN},year={2013},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
