Anusha Khan Bathhouse
Anushaxon hammomi
Khiva's oldest public bathhouse, built in 1657. Most of it lies underground, and visitors can see the ancient underfloor heating and domes.
The Anusha Khan Bathhouse was built in 1657 by Abulgazi Khan in memory of his son, Anusha Khan. It is the oldest surviving public bathhouse in Khiva. To keep heat in, most of the bathhouse is built underground, with only a few small domes showing above the surface. The interior includes a changing room, a warm room and a hot room, and the underfloor flue heating system of the period can still be seen. Entry is covered by the Itchan Kala ticket. Plan about 15 minutes. It sits next to the Ak Mosque, so it is easy to visit on the way.
