I bagni persiani di Hamamni sono un edificio storico della città di Zanzibar, dal quale oggi prende il nome l'intero quartiere. Avevano la funzione di bagni pubblici (ḥammām in arabo e persiano); furono costruiti nel 1850 per volere del sultano Barghash bin Said, e rimasero in attività fino al 1920. Devono il loro nome al fatto che la costruzione fu commissionata ad architetti shirazi, ovvero persiani; la parola hamamni significa "luogo dei bagni".
I bagni comprendevano un vasto insieme di locali e servizi: bagni con acqua fredda, con acqua calda, latrine, sale per la depilazione (molto comune sia per gli uomini che per le donne nella cultura islamica) e persino un ristorante. Pur essendo bagni pubblici, avevano un prezzo di ingresso, ed erano frequentati solo dalla popolazione più benestante. Potevano accedervi sia uomini che donne, ma in orari diversi (le donne al mattino e gli uomini al pomeriggio).
I really enjoyed our visit here. It’s an unassuming entrance, and you can explore the interior that remains open and easily imagine how cool it would have been in its heyday. Descriptions could use some finessing, but it’s not hard to understand what each space would’ve been used for. There was another person who took us to the rooftop, and we were able to climb the brick steps on the domes to enjoy a nice view of Stone Town. He did expect a tip.

Public Bath, those days when there was no running water in homes... Historic Building, need to be repaired and preserved

Old times public bath. Someone will take you go around the place and guide you go up the roof.

The place was built by an Iranian Rich high power owner, Gholam hossein in 1800s.One thing that draws my attention is he thought for every tiny detail.You may be surprised when you see one special chamber for shaving the private parts of body. It's the place you should visit before death.
