Chokak Hamam (Azerbaijani: Çökək hamam, "fallen bath") is a historical bath near Juma Mosque in Ganja.[1]

About

Chokak Hamam was built in Ganja in 1606 under a project of architect Bahāʾ al-dīn al-ʿĀmilī (also known as Sheikh Baha'i). Clay and lime mix and red bricks were used in the construction of the building. It has a large and two small domes. In 2003 it was repaired by the Repair Department of the Ministry of Culture.[2][3]

The building is a decorative art center.[4] Since 2014, the bathhouse operates as a bath for one of the hotels in Ganja.[5]
