Hammam El Soltane

The hammam is in the eastern part of the medina in Sfax near Sidi Lakhmi mosque and Dar Jellouli Museum.

Nevertheless, an epigraphic inscription at the entrance of the building commemorates the restoration of the monument by the master Mohamed El Kotti in 1649 during the Muradid Dynasty.

The same source mentions the existence of a secret underground passage between the hammam and Dar Essebii, the house of one of the former governors of the city of Sfax.

[1] The entrance opens on a small vestibule, which gives access to the cells of the hammam.

The dome is of tripartite composition, consisting of a rectangular base, an octagonal drum and a hemispherical cap.
