A Turkish bathhouse, hammam, established in established 1670 AD.
Dargouth Turkish Bath is a Hammam in the old quarter of Tripoli, Libya. The bath was established in 1081 AH/(1670 AD or 1671 AD). It is annexed to Sidi Darghut Mosque and tomb, whence it derives its name. The mosque and tomb in turn derive their names from the name of the Ottoman naval commander Turgut.
Built in 1834.
Only surviving Roman monument in the city.
Formerly known as Green Square. This is a popular gathering place. It gives some good views of the old city walls. Some of the shopping streets also start here. The square is often used for demonstrations (against the Syrian regime typically) and as a place for motorcycle enthusiasts to show off. There is nothing in the square itself to see.
