During the Tanzimat Period (1839–1876), relatively little attention was paid to the bathhouses as priorities changed. Mustafa Resit Pasa, an urban planner who had travelled to Europe on diplomatic missions, admired European city planning and strove to recreate it in Istanbul. In 1868, he renovated the section of Divan Yolu near the Çemberlitaş Hamamı after a fire in 1865.
