Baños Árabes

The Banos Arabes, or Arab Baths, is an ancient public bathhouse built sometime in the 11th Century. Incredibly well made, these baths were used until the 17th Century and are some of the best-preserved sights, even today. Built next to the Puente Arabe, or Roman Bridge, the aim of these baths was to serve the then practice and belief of the Muslims that one should be clean before entering the city. The baths have three chambers, one for a hot bath, one for warm, and a third for cold. The site later became agricultural land, and more recently, it transformed into a private garden area.
