Kali Yunus Bath

Kali Yunus Bath is a historic bathhouse in Taraz designed with multiple domes and small openings that allow light to enter the interior spaces. The building contains five distinct rooms, each serving different functions in the traditional bathing process.

The bathhouse was constructed in the second half of the 19th century and served the local population as an important gathering place until the 1950s. Its recognition as a protected monument in 1982 secured its preservation for future generations.

The name comes from Kali Yunus, a figure remembered in local stories connected to this place. The building displays the traditional layout with separate rooms for different bathing stages, turning it into a social gathering space for the community.

The building is located near the Karakhan Mausoleum and is easily reached on foot while exploring Taraz's old quarter. Access is open to visitors, who can view the interior to understand the traditional construction and layout.

Archaeologists uncovered coins during excavations around the structure that helped pinpoint the exact construction period. This artifact-based dating made it possible to place the building precisely in the late 19th century.
