Baku hammam: a source of true pleasure
When leaving for Baku, be sure to leave one day to visit the hamam. An oriental bath is more than a bathing place.
Here you will receive all “thirty-three pleasures”: take a break, chat, and perhaps meet new friends
I advise you to completely trust the bathhouse attendants and not to refuse their services. In the East, there is a special bath etiquette: this is the order of procedures, and topics of conversation, and even the manner of communication. Skilled bath attendants will make a massage, drink tea, if you want, they can tell fortunes! After such a service, you feel reborn.
Baku baths - a colorful feature of culture
Among the abundance of monuments, elements of architecture, parks, reserves, mosques and other architectural exaltations in Baku there is a place for incredible bathhouses.
The construction of bathing and bathing buildings in this area was and is as popular as throughout the East. They were erected directly in palace complexes, in residential quarters, in public buildings and in separate municipal areas of the city
The most famous baths that functioned in Baku are:
Aha Michael;
Haji Gaiba;
Kasum Beka;
Palace of the Shirvanshahs;
Bath houses occupied a very important place in the daily life of citizens. They were all over the place. Both eastern rulers and ordinary people visited the baths. Since ancient times, the healing properties of water and its beneficial effects on the body and state of mind have been studied. It is not surprising that among those who wanted to visit the wellness bath, one could meet both the sovereign and the artisan. The Baku baths were built in the form of square structures, which were then divided into small rooms. There were provided changing rooms (“bayr” - external) and bathing rooms (“Icheri” - internal). Also attached were separate ponds in which there was cold and hot water, and small pools.
