Architecture
The bathhouse is deeply buried, which is typical for the baths of the entire Absheron peninsula. Above the surface of the earth towered only domes. Domes covered the largest rooms. The internal layout tried to maintain the required temperature of various rooms, depending on their purpose.
The remains of domed and vaulted coatings testify to the high level of building art. Of particular note is the well-thought-out organization of the internal space and the well-defined ratios of the dimensions of the premises [2] .
