Baku hamam: the source of true pleasure

Going to Baku, be sure to leave one day to visit the hammam. The Oriental Bath is more than a place to bathe.

Here you will get all the "thirty-three pleasures": relax, socialize, and perhaps meet new friends.

Skillful bathers will make a massage, drink tea, if you want - can guess! After this service, you feel reborn.

Baku baths - a colorful feature of culture

Among all the abundance of monuments, elements of architecture, parks, reserves, mosques and other architectural buildings in Baku there is a place for incredible baths.

The construction of bathhouses in this area was and is as popular as all over the East. They were erected directly in palace complexes, in residential quarters, in public buildings and in individual municipal and economic zones of the city.

The most famous baths that functioned in Baku are:

• Agha Mikaila;
• Gaji Gaiba;
• Kasum Beka;
• Palace of Shirvanshahs;

Bathrooms occupied a very important place in the daily life of citizens. They were everywhere. The baths were visited by Eastern rulers and ordinary people. Since ancient times, the healing properties of water and its beneficial effect on the body and mental state have been studied. It is not surprising that among those wishing to visit the health bath you could meet both the state lord and the artisan. Baku baths were built in the form of square buildings, which were then divided into small rooms. Rooms were provided for changing clothes ("bayyir" - external) and for bathing ("iceri" - internal). There were also separate ponds, which had cold and hot water, and small pools.
