Baños del Alcázar Califal

The bathhouse of the 10th-century caliphate palace, the complex that was later replaced by the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, this is the most impressive of the few Arab bathhouses that survive from the 600 or so that featured in the medieval city. With the typical arrangement of cold, warm and hot rooms, the now-underground complex has been partly restored to its original appearance with horseshoe arches, elegant pillars and star-shaped skylights.

You can also see remains of the underfloor heating system.
