The center of the West Kazakhstan region is located 12 km southeast of the city of Uralsk. Chronological period: XIII-XIV centuries.During the Golden Horde, the Urals was a civilized city with its own production and handicrafts. Among the public buildings found in the Ural town, the bath-bath aroused interest. The bath is located at a depth of 150-170 cm above ground level. The total area of the bath is 110-170 square meters.Archaeological excavations have proved that the Ural settlement is a remnant of the developed Golden Horde. One of the two copper coins found has the inscription "737 minted in the palace" (1336-1337 ). This money was used by the Golden Horde in 1312-1357. It was issued during the reign of the Uzbek khan. As in the case of the Urals, the bathhouse is still preserved in the East, and the brick kiln was probably brought to the cities of the Golden Horde on the Volga and the Urals from Central Asia and South Kazakhstan. During the Golden Horde, such furnaces were known in Khorezm, in the ancient settlements of Otrar and Kuyriktobe.
