Basins with taps were around the walls. The furnace (7) with the copper cauldron for heating the water and the water reservoir (6) on the upper part. Smoke from the fire and hot air circulated under the floor of the hot and tepid room, the hypocaust. Clay pipes run around the walls for the circulation of water and the heating of the space. &#8220;Mukarnas&#8221;, the characteristic Islamic ornament with the overlapping polyhedral surfaces, adorn the walls of the building.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; full_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1667663074061{background-color: #e2e0d9 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1667556443327{padding-left: 100px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3347&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1763553018553{padding-right: 100px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mymuseums&#8221;]The Ottoman Bath was in a dilapidated state, despite the strengthening interventions of previous decades.
