Hamam Vakil is the most famous public bath in Shiraz which is one of the Karim Khan Zand era monuments. It was built by Karim Khan’s order in the Shah Square neighborhood, next to theVakil Mosque. The bath’s infrastructure is about 8660 square meters, 120 meters long and 80 meters wide, and was built in 1773. The large bath has the most advanced principles of Zand's architecture. One of the interesting parts in this public bath is a special place named " Shahneshin", literally meaning “king’s seat” and as its name suggests, it was a special place for the Kings. The other sections of of the ancient bath include a cloakroom, a warm home and Khazine (a place to keep water warm). The cloakroom is a colored octagon room with eight columns, keeps the ceiling dome of the bath. Some murals of lime berry portrait images that symbolize Prophets Mohammad (PBUH), Imam Ali (PBUH) and his famous sward Zolfaqar. Some paintings on the ceiling depict Shirin and Farhad’s visit, as well as Bijan and Manijeh’s visit.

This museum tells the story of a historical bath that dates back more than 250 years. The entrance begins with the bathroom and continues with the greenhouse, hot water storage, and Hanabandan sections. There are speakers throughout the bathroom that mimic the sounds of a bathroom. To enjoy these sounds as well, it is best to visit when the bathroom is not crowded. In the Hanabandan section, you can also hear beautiful songs. Entrance to this collection costs 4 thousand Tomans per person. The bathroom also has a section for taking pictures of old clothes that you can use for a fee. A small shop sells wood products as well. Below are images of this collection. Feel free to contact me if you need more help.

Vakil Historical Bath, a testament to traditional Persian architecture and culture, transports visitors back in time with its captivating ambiance. The intricate details in the tiles, arches, and lighting create a breathtaking experience, where every corner holds a story waiting to be discovered. The calm and elegant atmosphere, coupled with the wax figures and meticulously set-up, immerses visitors in the lifestyle of the past. It’s not just a historical site; it’s a cultural experience that offers a profound connection to the city’s soul. For history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, or anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the essence of Shiraz, Vakil Historical Bath is a must-visit destination.

This historical bath has an advanced, principled and beautiful architecture, which is considered a masterpiece from the Zandiyeh era. For the interior and decoration of Vakil Shiraz bathroom, lime is used instead of plaster because lime has a high resistance to moisture. On the walls of this bathroom, there are paintings and drawings of ancient Iranian culture and civilization. These valuable and eye-catching decorations, which are considered the art of the masters of the Zendiyeh era, are images in the form of mythological, epic, religious, cultural, customs, etc. themes.

Also, other topics such as stories from the Qur'an (ascension of the Prophet, sacrifice of Hazrat Ishmael, throwing of Hazrat Yusuf into the well), Persian stories (Bijan and Manijeh, Shirin and Farhad) and Islamic designs (flowers, bushes, etc.) on the walls of the Shiraz lawyer's bathroom. They are pictured.

The floor of this bathroom is paved and a path has been installed for water to pass and to heat the bathroom constantly. Somehow, the architects of Zandiyeh built a floor heating around 400 years ago to heat the bathroom. Also, the single columns with prominent decorations of Hammam Vakil show the artistic peak of...

شیراز پایتخت حکومت زندیه و وام دار آثار ارزشمند و باشکوهی است که در آن دوران ساخته شده است. یکی از جاهای دیدنی و ارزشمندی که درسفر به شیراز نباید دیدن آن را از دست داد حمام وکیل است که در نزدیکی مسجد و بازار وکیل قرار گرفته است. چرا بازدید از حمام وکیل شیراز پیشنهاد می‌شود؟ حمامی با نقوش زیباست که نماینده عظمت و جلال حکومت زندیه است. حمامی است که معماری و ساخت آن هوشمندانه بوده است و همین آن را تبدیل به یکی از زیباترین جاهای دیدنی شیراز کرده است. تاریخچه حمام وکیل شیراز

از آثار و بناهای باشکوهی که درشهر شیراز وجود دارد چنین بر‌می‌آید که در دوران حکومت کریم خان زند این شهر به بالاترین سطح عمران و آبادانی خود رسیده است. یکی از این بناهایی که به دستور مستقیم کریم خان ساخته شده حمام وکیل است. این حمام به گونه‌ای ساخته شد که در مرکز شهرو در نزدیکی مسجد باشد، زیرا پس از اسلام مساجد در نزدیک ترین فاصله به مسجد ساخته می‌شد. جالب است بدانید حمام‌‌ها در گذشته تنها محلی برای نظافت نیوده است بلکه مکانی برای برگذاری مراسماتی چون حنابندان،چله نوزاد و حتی معاشرت کردن و گاهی انتخاب همسران توسط مادرشوهر بوده است! ازاین رو در حمام وکیل می‌توانید از قسمت‌های مختلفی چون اتاق مخصوص حمام عروس و حنابندان دیدن کنید. حمام وکیل در دوران حکومت پادشان مختلف تغیرات زیادی را به خود دیده است اما با این وجود درهای این حمام تا دوران پهلوی دوم به روی مراجعه کنندگان باز بوده است. در دورانی حمام دچار آسیب و شکاف‌هایی در دیوار و سقف شد که تعطیلی حمام را در پی داشت سپس در سال ۱۳۵۱ حمام به دست سازمان باستان شناسی مرمت شد، اما متاسفانه در سال‌های پس از انفلاب با کاربری سفره‌خانه به فعالیت پرداخت که باعث خسارت دیدن حمام وکیل شد اما در نهایت بنا به طور کامل مرمت شد و برای بازدید عموم آماده شد. حمام وکیل شیراز معماری حمام وکیل شیراز

اگرچه ساخت این حمام به حدود ۲۶۰ سال قبل بازمی‌گردد اما در ساخت آن از هوشمندانه ترین اصول معماری استفاده شده است. به گونه ای که از قسمت ورودی حمام تا بخش هشتی که در واقع محل اتصال حمام با بیرون بوده است به صورت شیب دار ساخته شده. فلسفه ساخت این راه به صورت شیب دار که تا قسمت رختکن ادامه دارد خارج نشدن هوای گرم از حمام و تعدیل دمای بدن به هنگام خارج شدن از حمام بوده است. علت ساخت چنین حمام بزرگی با ابعاد ۱۱ هزار متر مربع و زیربنای ۸۶۶۰ متر مربع نیز به همین دلیل است.بعد از گذر از این قسمت به سربیه حمام که در واقع اصلی ترین بخش حمام است می‌رسید. از دیگر هوشمندی معماران آن دوره استفاده از مصالحی چون آهک در سقف و دیوارها به جای گچ بوده است، زیرا گچ رطوبت را به خود می‌گیرد وعلاوه بر سرد شدن دمای محیط، دارای دوام کمتری نیز می‌باشد. حمام وکیل شیراز قبل از ورود به حمام با ورودی زیبا که به صورت چشم نوازی آجرکاری شده روبه‌رو می‌شوید. این سردر زیبا بعدها در زمان قاجاریه به حمام اضافه شده است. قسمت اصلی حمام به نام سربینه به صورت زیبا و منظمی دارای هشت ستون زیبا از جنس سنگ است که بر روی آن سقف گنبدی شکل قرار گرفته است. همچنین نقوش روی دیواها و سقف حمام به گونه‌ای چشم نواز است که شما را محو تماشا می‌کند. اگر به دقت به این نقاشی ها نگاه کنید متوجه خواهید شد نقش‌هایی از داستان‌های اساطیری و مذهبی به تصویر کشیده شده است. این تزئینات زیبا و آهکی در دوران قاجاریه این حمام را مزین کرد. برخی از این تصاویر بیانگر داستان‌هایی از فرهاد کوه‌کن، ورود یوسف به مجلس زنان ، شیخ صنعان و دختر نصرانی، معراج پیامبر، بیژن و منیژه، قربانی کردن اسماعیل (ع)، شست و شوی شیرین و خسرو در شکارگاه می‌باشد. حمام وکیل شیراز در جای‌جای حمام وکیل مجسمه‌های مومی را می‌بینید که با پوششی همانند دوران زندیه برایتان حال و هوای حمام در آن دوران را تداعی می‌کنداز این رو با بازدیداز حمام وکیل گویی وارد ماشین زمان شده اید و با نحوه پوشش وآداب و رسوم مردم در دوران زندیه آشنا می‌شوید. یکی از ویژگی‌های این حمام وجود قسمت‌هایی مختلف برای اقشار متفاوت جامعه است به این صورت که در دو طرف اتاق گرم خانه دو سکو به نام شاه نشین و دوسکوی دیگر به نام حاکم نشین وجود دارد که محلی برای نشستن پادشاهان وحاکمان بوده است. در میان این بخش حوضی از جنس مرمر وجود دارد که آب آن از قنات...
