It was constructed in the 16th century, during the Safavid era; however, the bathhouse was damaged in 1778 as a result of an earthquake and was renovated during the Qajar era. The bathhouse is named after Imamzadeh Sultan Amir Ahmad, whose mausoleum is nearby.^[1] it showcases an example of Islamic architecture with multiple domes. The water for the dome is supplied by two wells with water transported through Ceramic pipes to different areas.^[2]
