The Baños Árabes are the beautifully restored 13th century baths which functions as an informative and interesting musuem. It is in less disrepair than the Moorish baths in Jaén and you gain a better understanding of Moorish architecture. Walkways take you above the baths and explain in great detail the Roman water system of cold, tepid and hot baths. The best features though are the barrel vaulted ceilings and the octagonal pillars which support Moorish horseshoe arches. The distinctive hump-shaped cupolas are a widely copied feature of this building.

Entry is free.
Opening hours: Tues 9am-1.30pm & 4-6pm, Wed-Sat 9.30am-3.30pm Oct-March also open Sun 10am-2pm.
