a CHWB team, specialists in the restoration of historical monuments, and by a team or board from the municipality of
Pristina. The second phase was to rebuild the domes, strengthen half of the building's structure, and consolidate the hammam. This phase lasted from 2009 to 2010 and was financed by CHWB and a Turkish team of experts under Zenep Ahunbay's supervision. In 2009, the municipality of Pristina allocated 300,000 euros for the hammam's restoration. The third phase's goal was to restore the building and install electricity. A company was chosen by the municipality of Pristina to run the project and was accepted by the project's board. They started work in 2012, though the Kosova Council for the Cultural Heritage and CHWB noted that changes were made to the plans. They said that the company chosen had no experience in monument restoration. The electrical work was destroying the original masonry, the materials chosen for restoration were inappropriate, the monument was being endangered by the atmospheric waters that further weakened the structure of the monument, Ottoman artifacts found in the monument were not treated properly, and this company was making irreversible changes and historic details of the hammam were being lost. CHWB warned the city and the Kosova Council for Cultural Heritage to terminate the contract with the company chosen for restoration, stating that if the city did not do what was included in the project, they would withdraw their support for Pristina. At the request of CHWB and the Kosova Council for Cultural Heritage, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports ordered that the restoration of the Great Hammam of Pristina be discontinued on 27 February 2013.

The walls are destroyed from this factor and other factors like time and improper constructions. Not until April 2007, the Municipality of Pristina decided to restore it intermittently.

He stated that even though the hammam differed a lot from the original version, only the east part of the building and the main face of the building have been changed; the rest of the building has remained the same. It is a symbol of the old Pristina, together with the Clock Tower, Çarshia Mosque, Academy building, and the Imperial Mosque.

The hammam was visited by Pristina residents as a place to meet and socialize until the 1970s or the 1960s according to architect Nol Binakaj from the Housing Development and Management-Lund University. According to the legend, the builders who were part of the constructions were obligated by Sultan Mehmet al-Fatih to wash themselves in the Hammam twice a day.
