Shirvanshahs’ bath houses, Historic underground bath houses in Palace of Shirvanshahs, Baku, Azerbaijan
The bath houses feature multiple underground chambers connected by corridors, with only their domes visible above ground in the palace complex.
Constructed in the 15th century during the Shirvanshah dynasty, these baths were discovered in 1939 and underwent initial restoration work in 1953.
The bath houses contained separate sections with different temperature zones, reflecting medieval Islamic bathing traditions and social gathering practices.
Located in the eastern section of the lower courtyard, visitors can explore the preserved right section to understand original architectural features.
The structure employs an intricate system of clay pipes within its walls to distribute water and regulate temperatures across different chambers.
