We used to have a bath at the Communal Bath house, where there was also a vapor bath – they call it today sauna.
There were two bath houses in Iassy, both of them administrated by the city hall, I think. They function even today. One of them, the Communal Bath, is located behind theCathedral, while the other one was the Popular Bath, located a little bit further.
The Communal Bath was only for the elite, it was more expensive, it had a sauna and masseuses, who would wash you so well, that they could take a layer of skin off you. It was actually a Turkish bath. There was a large room with showers around, and only after having taken a shower were you allowed to enter the sauna.
