Old Hamam (Vushtrri)

The technically sophisticated building is an example of a "Tek" hamam, including a large lobby covered by a massive octagonal dome, a second room for heating and cleaning, and two alcoves paved with white marble for each gender to bathe.

A kurna (stone bath) in each alcove was supplied by the central hot water tank.

Clearly, the structure was built in two stages: the original floor and the three lower domes, the first; followed by the outer entryway of volcanic tuff dating to the 17th century and spanning the entire perimeter of the building.

[2] Unused since the 1970s, the facility was renovated with a focus on its façade and cupola from August 2013 to May 2014.
