Akbari Hammam | The secret Hammam of the Royals

The other Shahi Hammam inside the Lahore Fort was built by Shah Jahan around 1633AD. It’s adjacent to Shah Jahan’s Khawabgah. This hammam is also built in Turkish style and has changing rooms with hot and cold bath facilities. There are traces of tessellated marble flooring in the room on the south-western corner. In this portion, terracotta pipes are laid in the wall for water supply which is still visible. There’s a small water tank paved with variegated marble. There were single baths on its four corners, out of which only two on the southwest and northern-west corner still exist. The entire floor of the bath was paved with marble, which was later removed. In Mughal days, the Royal Bath was also used as a cabinet chamber. Only nobles were permitted in these apartments.
