Eski çağlardan beri hamamlar; yıkanma eyleminin gerçekleştiği mekânlar olmanın yanı sıra, gündelik hayattan kesitler barındıran önemli sosyalleşme mekânları da olmuşlardır. Hamam; yıkanma, temizlenme ve şifa bulma amacının ötesinde farklı ritüellerin uygulandığı yerdir ve geçmişte olduğu gibi bugün de hamam geleneği kültürümüzün önemli bir parçasıdır. Türk kültüründe de hamam geleneği, farklı amaçlar için uygulanmıştır. Temizlik, sağlık gibi amaçların yanı sıra evlilik geleneği olarak gelinler için hazırlanan gelin hamamı, hamam kültürünün en özeli ve dikkat çekenidir. Türk milli kültürünün oldukça renkli bir parçası olan hamamlar, kısmen değişikliğe uğramış olsalar da halen varlıklarını devam ettirmektedirler.
