A hammam, or Turkish bath, is a type of steam bath inherited from the model of the Roman thermae, aimed at relaxation and cleansing. While it is based on the same principles as a steam bath, the focus is on water rather than steam. The process typically involves a sequence of stages, including a warm room to open pores, a hot room for deep cleansing, and a cold room to close the pores and refresh the body. Hammams are not only a place for physical cleansing but also serve as a social space for relaxation and rejuvenation.
