Hamamni Persian Baths
Hamamni Persian Baths, Persian bathhouse in Stone Town, Tanzania
The Hamamni Persian Baths features separate chambers for hot and cold bathing, steam rooms, shaving areas, and an adjacent restaurant section.
Sultan Barghash bin Said commissioned Shirazi architects to construct these public baths between 1870 and 1888, which operated until 1920.
The bath complex incorporated distinct time slots for men and women, reflecting the social customs and gender segregation practices of 19th century Zanzibar.
Visitors can explore designated sections of the original complex through guided tours, while other areas have been converted into residential spaces.
Underground aqueducts supplied hot water to different chambers of the baths, demonstrating advanced engineering methods of the late 19th century.
