Hammam al-Mokhfiya
Hammam al-Mokhfiya (also spelled Mukhfiyya[1] or Makhfia[2]) is a historic hammam (bathhouse) in the medina (old city) of Fes, Morocco. It is located in the neighbourhood of the same name (al-Mokhfiya), south of Place R'cif.[3][4] Based on its similarities in layout and decoration with other historic hammams in the region, it has been dated to the mid-14th century, during the reign of the Marinid sultan Abu Inan (ruled 1348–1358) or slightly after.[3] The hammam was part of the habous (endowment) of the Qarawiyyin Mosque.[5]
