Four Seasons Bathhouse

The Four-Season Bathhouse (Persian: حمام چهارفصل) in the Iranian city Arak dates back to the Qajar period, and had two separate sections for ladies and gents. The tile-work of the clock room and spinal designed columns of this area, including the layout of the bath are interesting features. The structure was renovated into a museum after undergoing necessary repairs.[1]

Four Seasons Bathhouse

The Four Seasons Bathhouse in Arak was the largest bathhouse in Iran. This bathhouse was built in the late Qajar (Ahmad Shah) by Haji Muhammad Ibrahim khansari. A variety of decorated tiles in the building display designs of humans, animals, and plants. Drawings and paintings of the four seasons of the year in the four corners of the bathroom is the reason for its name. The bathroom is the only bathroom where a separate part is devoted to religious minorities. Four Seasons Bathroom is recorded in the National Heritage List.[2]
