Ali Gholi Agha Hammam was built in the Safavids period. The structure consists of one large hammam and a small hammam and also a pothole. Each of these hammams consists of a dressing room and a Garmkhaneh (hothouse), so that they could be used separately by men and women. The water inside the tank was heated by burning wood and coal and the smoke from it was led into the pipes under the floor of the bath house in order to sterilize and heat other parts. In some places in the bathroom next to the ponds one-meter, white, one-piece flat rocks can be seen that the surface is ribbed and has gentle ridge to be used as a masseur. A hole on top of each rock can be seen, from which warm water used to flow on their surface so that they can play the role of a masseur.It is interesting to know that there are lots of fountains and water streams that make up the pleasant sound of running water to be heard in all the bathroom space. At present, the structure is a Museum of Anthropology and can be visited by tourists letting them learn customs and lifestyle of people.
