Agha Mikayil Bath's entrance
Agha Mikayil Bath

The Agha Mikayil Bath was erected in the 18th century in the south-western part of the fortress, on one of its main streets, Kichik Gala, Old City where local people frequently call this place the neighborhood of bath amateurs.[1]

It bears the name of Haji Agha Mikayil from Shamakhi, who built it.[2]

It differs from other baths in that it has a large interior and the dressing room and the baths are square in shape. Architectural composition of the structure is articulated in pointed arches and domes, divided into proportional layers.[3]

The bath has a chimney above the building. In 2010, the bath underwent restoration works and remains a functioning bath[4]
