Hammam Ben Abbad
Hammam Ben Abbad[1] or Hammam Ibn Abbad[2] is a historic hammam (bathhouse) in the medina (old city) of Fes, Morocco. It is located in the Kettanin neighbourhood south of the Zawiya of Moulay Idris, near the Funduq Kettanin.[3] The hammam dates from the 14th century and was recently restored during a major rehabilitation program involving over two dozen other historic monuments in the city.[1][4] Its name comes from a local Muslim saint who is associated with the building,[5] and the waters of the hammam were believed to have healing properties.[3] Entered from the north, the hammam has the usual series of rooms inherited from the Roman bathhouse model: an undressing room (equivalent to an apodyterium), a cold room (frigidarium), warm room (tepidarium), and a hot room (calderium).[6][2] The hammam was part of the habous (endowment) of the Qarawiyyin Mosque.[7]
