The Məşədi Abutalıb bathhouse is a historic and architectural monument of the nineteenth century located in the village of Pensər, in the district of Astara, in Azerbaijan. The bath was built in 1886 at the commission of the philanthropist Məşədi Abutalıb and made available to the village's inhabitants. Məşədi Abutalıb also had a mosque consisting of two buildings constructed on the village's territory.
Insider tip — Lankaran in southern Azerbaijan at the Iranian border is a subtropical city of tea plantations, pomegranate orchards, and the ancient Talysh culture that spans the border. The Mashadi Abutalib bathhouse preserves the hammam tradition of a city where Azerbaijani, Talyshi, and Persian cultures intersect on the Caspian coast — the hammam bridging the cultural worlds of the Iranian plateau and the South Caucasian lowlands in one of the region's most ethnically and linguistically complex border zones.
