History
The Hammam al-Nouri built around 1333 by the Mamluk
governor Nur El-Din, in the vicinity of the Grand Mosque, is still in good condition and
in use although its façade is obscured by modern shop fronts. It differs from the baths
of Izzedin ( Izz El-Din ) in that the dressing room and the tepidarium are built on
a smaller scale. On the other hand the hot water steam hall is large and is surrounded by
a series of private bathing alcoves (ma qsoura). The interior is decorated with
multicolored marble pavement, basins and fountains and from the exterior one can get a
view of its cluster of domes perforated with light holes with protruding blue and green
glass roundels. Historical References |
