The Hasan Paşa Hamamı, or Cenabi Ahmed Paşa hammam, was a hammam located in the Altındağ district of Ankara. Presumed to have been commissioned by Hasan Paşa, one of the emirs of the era of Bayezid II, its construction was completed around 1511–1512. Located in the Belkıs neighbourhood at the time, the building was one of the two hammams recorded in the city. Used as a military storehouse in the first quarter of the 20th century, it was left abandoned and is said to have been demolished during the reconstruction works around Government Square.

Insider tip — The Hasan Paşa Baths in Ankara are remnants of the Ottoman provincial town that preceded the Turkish Republic's planned capital — when Ankara was a modest market city known for its mohair goat trade rather than political importance. These historic baths served the Ottoman-era city that Atatürk chose to transform in 1923, preserving hammam heritage from a market town whose entire urban identity was remade as the capital of a new republic that deliberately broke with Ottoman architectural tradition.
