The '''Hammam-e-Lal Qila''' ({{lang-ur|حمامِ لال قلعہ{{popdf}}}}, {{lang-hi|हम्माम-ए-लाल क़िला}}) is the [[Turkish bath]] located in the [[Red Fort]] in Delhi and served as the bathing area of the [[Mughal India]]n emperor. It is located in the north of the ''[[Diwan-i-Khas (Red Fort)|Diwan-i-Khas]]''.<br />
<br />
The marble ''hammam'' is a bath that forms a part of the palace building. It consists of three apartments separated by corridors<ref name="ASI">{{cite web |url=http://asi.nic.in/asi_monu_tktd_delhi_redfort_hammam.asp |title=Hammam of Red Fort |year=2011 |website= |publisher=[[Archaeological Survey of India]] |accessdate=2013-12-09 |archive-date=23 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023112559/http://asi.nic.in/asi_monu_tktd_delhi_redfort_hammam.asp |url-status=live }}</ref> and crowned with domes.

The two rooms to either side of the present entrance are believed to have been used by the royal children for bathing. The eastern apartment, containing three fountain basins, was used primarily as a dressing room. In the center of each room stood a fountain, and one of the rooms contained a marble reservoir built into the wall.<ref name="Murray"/> As legend goes, perfumed rose-water once ran from the taps. The western apartment was used for hot or [[vapor bath]]s, and the heating arrangement was being fixed in its western wall.<ref name="ASI"/><br />
<br />
The whole interior was richly decorated with colorful inlaid ''[[pietra dura]]'' floral designs made of white marble.<ref name="Murray"/> The floors and [[dado (architecture)|dado]]s of these apartments are finished with white marble as well.<ref name="ASI"/> sui<br />
