The hamamThe hamam is in Tarsus ilçe (district) of Mersin Province in Turkey at {{coord|36|55|03|N|34|53|49|E}}. It is in Kızılmurat neighborhood on the main street of Tarsus, which was the former state highway connecting Adana to Mersin. On the wall of the hamam, there are some red spots, which are the sources of the legend. The hamam was built on the foundations of an older Roman bath by the Ramazanids, a beylik, which was sovereign between the 14th and 16th centuries. During the Ottoman Empire era in 1873, it was restored.[1] The rectangular plan hamam has four iwans. The building material is rubble stone. Main parts of the hamam are covered by a dome. In addition to common hamam, there are ten wooden private rooms with bath.[2] LegendAccording to legend, Shah meran was a half-human half-snake creature, a monarch of the snakes. There are several versions of the tale. Version 1According to Mersin webpage,[3] Shahmeran was the queen of snakes. She was half women and half snake. One day, a young man named Cemshit and his friends found a cave full of honey. Left alone in the cave, Cemshit discovered a beautiful garden next to the cave. In the garden, he saw Shahmeran. He spent years in the garden and finally asked permission to return home. Shahmeran agreed on the condition that the location of the garden would be kept secret. However, after returning home, the vizier of Tarsus tortured him to learn the secret place. The vizier killed Shahmeran. The sick king of Tarsus ate the flesh of Shahmeran and the vizier drank the consommé. The king got well, but the vizier died. The king appointed Cemshit the new vizier. In some versions of the story, Cemshit is replaced by Luqman.[4] Version 2According to the Tarsus municipality page,[5] Shahmeran was the king of the snakes. He was living in Misis, Mapuseta of the antiquity. He fell in love with the daughter of the king of Tarsus. Being a half snake, he was able to sit in a hollow in the hamam to spy the young woman, while she was bathing. However, one day the wards spotted and killed him. The red spots on the haman wall are his blood. Version 3During the reign of Sardanapalus, the king of Assyria, Tarsus was a free trade city. A merchant named Melikiya from Egypt came to Tarsus and took a bath in Berdan River. The governor of Tarsus asked for a fee, which Melikiya was unable to pay. Instead, he promised to bring a very valuable present to Sardanapalus during his next visit. The valuable gift turned out to be Shahmeran, a very beautiful woman-snake with seven heads. However, before the present was submitted to Sardanapalus, the governor of Tarsus ordered his soldiers to kill Shahmeran. Sahameran with her seven head fought well, but at the end she was killed.[4] References1. ^Mersin site {{tr icon}} {{Mersin Province}}2. ^Mersin web (Hamam) {{tr icon}} 3. ^Mersin web (Legend) {{tr icon}} 4. ^1 Diyadinet page {{tr icon}} 5. ^Tarsus municipality page {{tr icon}} 4 : Buildings and structures in Mersin Province|Turkish legends|Tarsus, Mersin|Public baths in Turkey |
