During excavations at Alanya Castle, the Köşklü Hamam, dating back to the Seljuk period, was uncovered, and it is believed that the structure was designated for use by the palace. According to statements by the head of the excavation team, Prof. Dr. Osman Eravşar, the bathhouse contains sections such as a furnace room, a hearth, a water reservoir, a warming room, and a private bathing chamber. While it is assessed that the structure had two distinct periods of use, excavation work has brought a large portion of the bathhouse to light. The Köşklü Hamam is an important archaeological find in that it sheds light on palace life at Alanya Castle during the Seljuk period.1
