Baños Árabes
The Arab Baths form part of the Town Hall building, with the three preserved naves located in the westernmost part of the ground floor. Dating back to 1566, the baths have undergone rehabilitation and a museum-like programme to be used as an 'Interpretation Centre: Water in Al-Andalus', which included archaeological investigations in 2005 and 2011.
During the 2005 archaeological investigation, it was confirmed that the three rooms corresponded to those typically found in baths. From north to south, they were identified as the cold room (al-bayt al-barid), the warm room (al-bayt al-wastani) and the hot room (al-bayt al-sajun). Another room attached to the cold room appeared to be the vestibule (al-bayt al-maslaj). Only the boiler and woodstore areas (alfurn) remain to be discovered, although an opening on the west side, now filled in, seems to indicate their location, which is now occupied by a street.
The structure is masonry, and the naves are covered with barrel vaults and connected by two small doors with semicircular arches. The naves have a rectangular floor plan measuring 4.35 x 2.30 metres. Small rectangular skylights are distributed across the vaults — a distinguishing feature of these rural baths compared to urban baths, where the skylights are star-shaped. Located on Calle Escuelas.
