Window to ancient culture of Shiraz

Vakil Bathhouse in the heart of Shiraz, Iran, has been transformed into a rich museum of anthropology, showcasing the customs, clothing, and culture of the people in Shiraz.

Built in the Zandiyeh era by Karim Khan Zand in the 18th century, the bathhouse covers an area of 11,000 square meters with a length of 120 meters and a width of 80 meters.

Its advanced and amazing architecture is similar to other historical bathhouses in Iran as they embody unique entrance designs that prevent heat from leaking through roofs and walls.

The bathhouse is located near other notable monuments in the city such as the Vakil Mosque and bazaar and has been registered as a national heritage of Iran.

Exploring the Vakil Bathhouse offers a unique insight into the ancient culture of Shiraz and a chance to step back in time.
