After having suffered significant damage while being used as a storage depot in the 20th century, the building was restored in the late 1980s and now serves as a local shopping centre and cafe.

The hamam is mentioned in the waqf document of the Fatih Mosque in 1470–1471 (875 AH), indicating that it was built between 1453 (the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople) and 1471.

The former changing room of the men's baths, under the largest dome, became the main entrance and was outfitted with new galleries and a central fountain in homage to the original layout.

Likewise, a new monumental entrance portal, in a simplified Ottoman style, was built in place of the original one which had disappeared without any visual documentation to facilitate its reconstruction.

It also features four halvets (private areas reserved for special guests), giving this hamam one of the most advanced designs of its time.

[1] The square-plan changing room of the men's section (now the main entrance) has the largest dome, measuring nearly 17 metres (56 ft) in diameter.
