Castle & Bathhouse
Dated 1884, this bathhouse is one of the concrete proofs of Sille's prosperity in the 19th century. It was built in the years when the valley was growing rich on trade, carpet weaving and stonemasonry, and together with the Subaşı Bathhouse it forms one of the settlement's two Ottoman baths. Two bathhouses in a single settlement is a measure of the population and wealth of the time.
