Remains of the Roman Baths in Guadalmina.

Las Bovedas

Located next to the beach in the Guadalmina urbanisation, the baths date back to the 3rd century and were first discovered in 1926.

The solid mortar structure has survived the passing of history and weather well, particularly considering the location near the beach. The construction was built around an octagonal patio of 9.75 metres in diameter which in its time was encrypted. Parallel to the walls are the remains of a 1.20 metre deep octagonal pool. The upper floor consists of a circular gallery with access to several small rooms.

The generally held conclusion about the crypts is that they were Roman Baths, although some believe that they were large deposits for the water carried by the nearby aqueducts

At present the ruins are closed to the public telephone 952 785 252 for more information.
