 It is also famous for its ancient hamam, or Turkish bath, known as the Cağaloğlu Hamam.The quarter gets its name from Cigalazade Yusuf Sinan Pasha (; c. 1545–1605), an Ottoman admiral and statesman of Genoese descent, as well as a member of the influential "Cicala" family of Genoa.The original name "Cigalaoğlu" (meaning ""of the Cigala (Cicala) family"", or literally ""Cigala-son"" as a Turkified surname) eventually turned into "Cağaloğlu" through the course of centuries.
