Bath Haji Absalam - is an old bathhouse located in the village of Pirşağı in the Sabunchu district of Baku, Azerbaijan. This is one of the most famous places in the settlement. This building, known as "Sand Bath" among the local population, was built by Haji Shahverdi Shahverdizadeh, a resident of the settlement. It is noted that the bath belongs to the 19th century, Haji Shahverdi built this bath together with his son Mashadi Sadiq Shahverdizade.

Insider tip — The Absheron Peninsula's historic bathhouses serve a landscape where the evidence of ancient fire-worship is everywhere — the Ateshgah temple near Baku burned eternal gas flames that drew Zoroastrian pilgrims from across the Persian world before the oil industry transformed the peninsula. The Haji Shahverdi bath preserves the hammam culture of a sacred volcanic peninsula where fire and water — the two great elements of Zoroastrian cosmology — have been venerated in their own forms since the most ancient times.
