Hammam al-Basha
About
Hammam al-Basha Built in 1795 by Jezzar Pasha, Acre's hammam has a series of hot rooms and a hexagonal steam room with a marble fountain. It was used by the Irgun as a bridge to break into the citadel's prison. The bathhouse kept functioning until 1950. Now it is a tourist site featuring a very entertaining video presentation of Acre's past (as told by the hammam's last operator and his ancestors).
