Fin Hammam, Historical bathhouse in Kashan, Iran.
The Fin Hammam is a bathhouse in Kashan with sections for bathing and relaxation, built from stone and brick with decorative tile work and detailed plasterwork throughout. The complex displays traditional architecture with different bathing areas designed for varying temperatures.
A ruler named Abbas I commissioned this bathhouse in the 16th century, and it later underwent changes during the 19th century under the reign of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar. These changes reflect the architectural shifts between the Safavid and Qajar periods.
The bathhouse served as a social gathering place where people came together to practice traditional Persian bathing rituals and spend time with others. The layout and decoration reveal how this facility functioned in the community's daily life.
The bathhouse is located within the Fin Garden complex and is accessible to visitors with exhibits showing historical scenes. The displays with figures help visitors understand how people used these spaces in the past.
The bathhouse used natural spring water that flowed through a sophisticated piping system to supply different areas with varying temperatures. This system shows how people understood and applied water and heat management in earlier times.
