The Hammam in Elbasan is a historical monument from the Ottoman period. It used to serve as a public bath for Elbasan residents. The surface of 130 m2 includes: dressing room, hot bath and cold sanitary part. It represents a very rational architectural solution that could serve a large number of users at that time. The Hammam was proclaimed a cultural monument only in 1972. Today the premises have been converted into shops. Photo source: Wikimedia commons
