Let's visit Ganj Ali Khan bath in Kerman, a historic public bath
Hello friends, today I want to publish photos and geographical map of Ganj Ali Khan bath and give explanations about it
We also visited this place during our trip to Kerman, and being in that space was really refreshing for me
The image I had before entering was something else
And seeing all the beautiful tiling and pleasant atmosphere gave me a good feeling
Especially, I was able to meet with the models of the old people and with their clothes and also how they used to go to the bathroom. You can see in some of the photos that one person was responsible for washing the others, and use the water that flow like a small river
Also, there were photos of old tools with their uses written next to them
Overall, visiting there was a good memory for me
Ganj Ali Khan was one of the rulers of Kerman during the time of Shah Abbas
who has done important civil works in Kerman and today we will watch one of those buildings together
In order to have public promenades in the middle of the city, he first created a large square. This square, which is more than 100 meters long and 50 meters wide, has private buildings on four sides, including a school, a mosque, a market, and a bath, and today I will show you photos of its public bath.
Also, the reservoir and the mint are enclosed
And it is an excellent collection of construction works of the Safavid era, which is a special pleasure to see
As you can see, I photographed from the entrance to the inside
In Abanda, you can see replicas of ancient people in the bathroom to have a better sense of the atmosphere.
In the beginning, you can see that there are different rooms where water is passing inside them, and each room is for a certain class of society.
For example, there is a room for farmers, a room for clerics, and a room for doctors, etc. I personally did not understand the reason for this division.
pls look at the wonderful painting on the wall , animals and flowers it is a really old painting which i loved it from the start
The extremely beautiful carvings and paintings on the ceiling of the entrance door affect me
And also the extremely beautiful tiling and plastering shows the art of the artists of that time
MAP
you can see this place in the map here and also scan the QR code was written there i took a picture of it
Lighting in the bathroom
The light of the bathroom spaces is provided from the ceiling, so that the skylights are usually placed in the center or around the ceilings and are completely in harmony with the geometry of the ceiling,
making the ceiling look brighter and creating a beautiful light-shadow on it.
Beautiful tiling
Marble tiles, seven colors and clay tiles with a human image are the features of this bathroom.
As you can see in the photos I have taken, all the mentioned items are there and very soothing colors are used.
Have you ever sung in the bathroom?
This gentleman was one of the visitors who was singing a very beautiful and famous song and we were really enjoying his voice in the bathroom.
water fountain statue
The statues of animals that slowly sprayed water from their mouths added to the beauty of the small pools inside the bathroom
And it showed the art of artists more
