The great hamam of Prishtina is 800 m2 (8,600 sq ft)
The Great Hammam of Pristina (Albanian: Hamami i madh i Prishtinës; Serbian: Велики хамам у Приштини / Veliki hamam u Prištini; Turkish: Fatih Sultan Mehmet Han Hamamı) is an Ottoman-era monument in Pristina, Kosovo. It was built in the 15th century and was part of the Imperial Mosque. During the summer and spring, it was used as a meeting place. Considered one of the most important buildings of the cultural and historical heritage, the Great Hammam of Pristina was in poor condition through the years until its restoration was approved.
The hammam is currently being restored and is planned to become the Museum of Pristina.[1][2][3][4] The building is owned by the Municipality of Pristina and is under the protection of the Republic of Kosovo. It has been part of the cultural heritage per the decision of Memli Krasniqi of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, since October 2012.[1][4] In 1985, during the Kosovo War, the hammam was considered a protected monument by the law "Protection of the Monument" number 19/77, according to architect Nol Binakaj.[5] He stated that even though the hammam differed a lot from the original version, only the east part of the building and the main face of the building have been changed; the rest of the building has remained the same.[contradictory][5] It is a symbol of the old Pristina, together with the Clock Tower, Çarshia Mosque, Academy building, and the Imperial Mosque.[6]
