The Basilica Therma, also known by the names Terzili Hamam, Kral Hamamı, Kral Kızı Hamamı or Sarıkaya Roma Hamamı, is a public bath from the era of the Roman Empire located in Sarıkaya, in the Yozgat district of Turkey. Built in the 2nd century, this bath still exhibits geothermal activity.
Insider tip — Kemer Hamami draws on the thermal spring tradition of Kutahya province in western Turkey, a region renowned since Roman times for its abundance of mineral-rich waters. The facility maintains the classic hammam structure of hot marble slabs and steam rooms, providing both bathing and the traditional kese exfoliation treatment. Located near the thermal basin that feeds Kutahya's larger spa resorts, the water carries a moderate mineral load well suited to the extended steaming that hamam culture demands. The social atmosphere of a local hamam, with tea served in the cooling room, is an experience distinct from resort spa visits.
