Turkish bath – Hamam from the 15th century is located in the centre of Sokobanja. It was built by the Turks on the foundations of Roman thermal springs as evidenced by the Roman mosaic near the pool in the women’s bath.
The bath has been renovated several times in order that its immense historical value, tourist attractiveness and health and recreational functionality be preserved. The first time it was renovated in 1834 by Prince Miloš Obrenović who often stayed here.

Today, the bath functions as a wellness centre. It has two thermo-mineral springs ‘St. Archangel’ and ‘Transfiguration’, with temperatures between 43ºC and 50ºC.
