Vakil Historical Bath

This museum tells the story of a historical bath that dates back more than 250 years. The entrance begins with the bathroom and continues with the greenhouse, hot water storage, and Hanabandan sections. There are speakers throughout the bathroom that mimic the sounds of a bathroom. To enjoy these sounds as well, it is best to visit when the bathroom is not crowded. In the Hanabandan section, you can also hear beautiful songs. Entrance to this collection costs 4 thousand Tomans per person. The bathroom also has a section for taking pictures of old clothes that you can use for a fee. A small shop sells wood products as well. Below are images of this collection. Feel free to contact me if you need more help.

A reconstruction of a traditional bathhouse.
The hammam has been restored and also has reconstructed figures inside showing daily life in the bathhouse in times past. It is an interesting look at the culture of times gone by, but if you are in a hurry it can probably be skipped.

Hamam Vakil is the most famous public bath in Shiraz which is one of the Karim Khan Zand era monuments. It was built by Karim Khan’s order in the Shah Square neighborhood, next to theVakil Mosque.
The bath’s infrastructure is about 8660 square meters, 120 meters long and 80 meters wide, and was built in 1773. The large bath has the most advanced principles of Zand's architecture. One of the interesting parts in this public bath is a special place named " Shahneshin", literally meaning “king’s seat” and as its name suggests, it was a special place for the Kings.
The other sections of of the ancient bath include a cloakroom, a warm home and Khazine (a place to keep water warm). The cloakroom is a colored octagon room with eight columns, keeps the ceiling dome of the bath. Some murals of lime berry portrait images that symbolize Prophets Mohammad (PBUH), Imam Ali (PBUH) and his famous sward Zolfaqar. Some paintings on the ceiling depict Shirin and Farhad’s visit, as well as Bijan and Manijeh’s visit.

This was originally a public bath (and much more) and is now a museum.
People gathered here to talk with each other. Some professions, such as dentists and barbers also worked in the hammam. In the hamam you could get a good scrub but at the same time it was used to prepare a girls for the upcoming marriage.

hammam vakil was made by karim khan. It was for people who lived in shiraz. You can see different people who were there and different ceremony.The 300 hundred year old bath has changed to the museum of bathroom. Will learn a lot about the folk traditions done by the people when taking the bath.

The public bath which is dated back to Zandie era. You can find out many cultural details there. Some of the decorations were for Zandi era and some for Qajar!

This public bath was built during Zandieh era and is an architectural masterpiece.

This historical bath has an advanced, principled and beautiful architecture, which is considered a masterpiece from the Zandiyeh era. For the interior and decoration of Vakil Shiraz bathroom, lime is used instead of plaster because lime has a high resistance to moisture. On the walls of this bathroom, there are paintings and drawings of ancient Iranian culture and civilization. These valuable and eye-catching decorations, which are considered the art of the masters of the Zendiyeh era, are images in the form of mythological, epic, religious, cultural, customs, etc. themes.

Also, other topics such as stories from the Qur'an (ascension of the Prophet, sacrifice of Hazrat Ishmael, throwing of Hazrat Yusuf into the well), Persian stories (Bijan and Manijeh, Shirin and Farhad) and Islamic designs (flowers, bushes, etc.) on the walls of the Shiraz lawyer's bathroom. They are pictured.

The floor of this bathroom is paved and a path has been installed for water to pass and to heat the bathroom constantly. Somehow, the architects of Zandiyeh built a floor heating around 400 years ago to heat the bathroom. Also, the single columns with prominent decorations of Hammam Vakil show the artistic peak of Iranian architects.

You can see dummies of different kinds of people that were visiting and using this bath in old times

Nice. The voice effect is good as well. Help you to feel the historic atmospher and environment of near 250 years ago and when this place was actually a public bath. Although this place has been repaired completely but this repair is artistic enough that you can not sense it easy when you look at the walls and roof from inside.
