Museum in Faro

This AL-"ULYÁ" HAMMAM was build between the early and mid 12th century. It was partially underground, with most of the enterior below streetlevel, but directly against the base of the city wall. It was a public facility. The city of Loulé is situated on a hilltop and it has an abundance of upwards streaming well water.
The Museum reveals the three large bathrooms (steam, hot, cold), and it shows clear timelines on how it has been developed and used. The floor of the hamamrooms were so hot, that you had to wear wooden clogs to protect your barefeet from burning.
In the Islamic World personal hygiene is linked to therapeutic virtues and purification rituals for both the body and spirit. The Hamam was frequented by all locals and travallers and for the Islamics before their daily 5 prayers.
It was used by men and women, to socialize, for meetings and leisure. It was a place of relaxations and self-care such as body-hair removal and massage.
The name of the city of Loulé originates from AL-"ULYÁ".
