Hammam Bab al-Ahmar (Arabic: حمام الباب الأحمر, romanized: Hamaam Bāb al-Aḥmar) meaning the Red Gate, is a hammam located in Aleppo.[1]
Located in the Ancient City of Aleppo, near the Citadel of Aleppo, it is famous for its dome and decor from the Ottoman era.[2]
The Hammam was closed and badly damaged due to the Syrian conflict.[3] It was renovated in 2017 and a restaurant and café have been added to the spa.[4]
