As with some other hammams in the city, the Saffarin Hammam is situated next to a well or natural spring which provides some of its water and is built in a sloped area which made drainage easier.[1] Like other hammams in the city, the hammam structure is not very prominent from the exterior, but is recognizable from the rooftops by its pierced domes which are characteristic of hammam architecture.[8] From Place Seffarine it is marked only by a horseshoe arch entrance, from which a bent passage leads to the interior.[2]
