Since 1951 and the establishment of the High Council for the Historical Real Estate and Monuments, the change in this cultural heritage has been determined in line with the council’s decisions regarding Çemberlitaş Hamam and evaluated in this context. Thus, this article is aimed at revealing the historical transformation of cultural heritage conservation policies in Turkey with a special focus on the Çemberlitaş Hamam.
