Chokak hammam, Historical bathhouse in Ganja, Azerbaijan.
The Chokak Hammam is a traditional bathhouse in Ganja featuring large domes and separate sections for men and women throughout its layout. The rooms display detailed tilework and offer steam bathing along with scrubbing and massage services.
The bathhouse was constructed in 1606 by architect Bahāʾ al-dīn al-ʿĀmilī and ranks among the oldest functioning hammams in the Ganja region. It has endured through centuries of change and remains operational today.
The bathhouse remains a meeting place where visitors perform traditional washing rituals and drink tea together. Families and friends gather here for relaxation and conversation in a setting that has welcomed guests for centuries.
The establishment maintains separate times for men and women, so checking the schedule beforehand is advisable. Visitors should wear light clothing and prepare for humid conditions inside.
The name Chokak means 'fallen' in Azerbaijani, referring to the bathhouse's position below the surrounding street level. This sunken location was deliberately chosen to help retain heat more effectively.
