Marble plays an important role in Turkish baths, both traditionally and aesthetically. Marble is used in the interior of the bathhouse and in some external areas and offers a number of advantages, both functional and visual. Here are some examples of the use of marble in Turkish baths:

1. **Pool and Belly Stones**: Pool and belly stones, one of the basic elements of Turkish baths, are generally made of marble. These stones are placed on the bath floor and create the area where hot water circulates. The durability of marble and its ability to transmit warmth well provide bath visitors with a relaxing experience.

2. **Wall Coverings**: Marble is often used in wall coverings in the interiors of Turkish baths. This ensures that the bath has a hygienic and easy-to-clean surface. Additionally, marble wall coverings contribute to the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the bath.

3. **Bench (Bath Board)**: The bench used in Turkish baths, that is, the bath board, is generally made of marble. This board is used for bath visitors to lie down and rest. The durability and hygienic properties of marble ensure the long life of the bench.

4. **Steam Room**: Some Turkish baths have steam rooms and marble is generally used in these rooms. Marble is a material that is resistant to high temperatures and humidity levels, so it is preferred in steam rooms.

5. **Staircases and Steps**: Stairs and steps used in the interior of the bath are generally made of marble. This allows visitors to move safely and complements the aesthetic appearance of the bath.

The durability, hygienic properties and aesthetic appearance of the marble used in Turkish baths are the main reasons why it is preferred in these traditional bath facilities. Additionally, the cool and smooth texture of marble offers a relaxing experience to Turkish bath visitors.
