hammam Is in FEZ

Saturday 7 August 2010

Some houses have a well, and until recently spring water would flow constantly from the fountain in the courtyard and into the toilet. Even in the 12th century most Fez houses had running water flowing through terracotta pipes.  Sadly, much of the traditional water system has been damaged, but many houses still have the original drainage pipes.  Because some houses don't have water, or because it's expensive, some people still get water from public fountains. A very large house would have a hammam, or traditional bath. Most people, however, go once a week to the public hammam, even if they now have a shower at home.  But in general hot water is still extremely rare in medina houses.
