Hamam — Bathhouse Discovered in the Depths of Ancient Taraz!

Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a medieval hammam bathhouse at the "Ancient Taraz" archaeological complex. This is a remarkable find dating to the 9th–12th centuries, proving the deep penetration of Islamic civilization into Central Asia.
An underground heating system (hypocaust), steam rooms and stone installations, construction from natural stone and brick — all of this attests to the advanced building culture and hygienic traditions of that era.
This hammam was not merely a place for bodily cleansing but an important part of spiritual purification and social life. This discovery in Ancient Taraz is a vivid testament to the spiritual and cultural heritage bequeathed to future generations.
If you visit Taraz, come and listen to the breath of history!
