Feridun Ahmed Bey Hamam

The Feridun Ahmed Bey Hamam[1] (Greek: Χαμάμ του Φεριντούν Αχμέτ Μπέη, Turkish: Feridun Ahmed Bey Hamam) is an Ottoman bath which dates from 1571/72 and is located to the north of the Mehmed I Mosque in the central square of Didymoteicho, in northern Greece.

According to Dutch historian and Ottomanologist Machiel Kiel, on the facade of the hamam there used to be an inscription giving the year of construction as 1571/2, as it is mentioned in the account of the Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi.

Feridun built these baths in Didymoteicho, as well as a mosque bearing his name, which was demolished at the beginning of the twentieth century.
