Sultan Amir Ahmad Bathhouse
حمام سلطان امیر احمد
A 16th-century traditional Persian bathhouse with splendid coloured tile and plaster decoration. A dome on its roof overlooks the old town.
The bathhouse dates back to the Seljuk period. The existing building was rebuilt in the Safavid era of the 16th century and restored in the Qajar period. It has two parts: a changing hall and a hot bath. The octagonal hall has a pool at its centre. Its walls are covered with turquoise tiles and gilded stucco reliefs, and light falls through the skylight in the dome. The most popular spot is the roof, with its rolling small domes and light openings. From here you can see the old town and its mosques, making it a popular photo spot. It sits between two famous mansions and is within walking distance of both.
