Information about the monument: The Bath House is part of the Complex that Sokullu Mehmet Pasha comissioned in the name of his beloved son, Kurt Kasım Bey, who died young while he was the District Officer of Hertzegovina. In its original state, the Kasım Pasha Complex included a mosque, an imaret, bazaar, caravanserai, and bathhouse. The buildings of the Complex other than the mosque are in a bad state of repair. From the double bathhouse, only some parts remain, now used as storage. The entrance of one section where the dome had collapsed has been covered over and closed off in 2007.
