Shamran Hammam attracts large numbers of tourists coming to enjoy a holiday in Tarsus, as it is one of the oldest and most beautiful baths in the city because of its marble and ivory columns and water fountains. The bathroom derives a large part of its fame from one of the stories that tells that Shahmaran, the king of snakes, who was depicted in the drawings in the form of a woman's head with the body of a snake, was killed in this place, and his blood became part of the color of the interior walls of the bathroom.
