Baños Árabes

Andalucía


Investigate the underground remnants of a 13th-century baths complex. It’s not a big site but it gives a good idea of the original complex's layout with an entrance lobby, cold, warm and hot rooms, and a boiler room for heating the water. Star-shaped skylights let light in to illuminate brick halls flanked by columned arches.
