WebsiteThis 11th-century public bathhouse is one of the best preserved buildings of the period. It's been carefully restored and still gives you a feel of what it must have been like nearly 1000 years ago. During the Moorish occupation of the city there were many bathhouses around town. Bathing is sacred to Muslims and should be done before prayer. It had a social as well as a religious function. People went to relax and socialize, get a massage and beauty treatments. The Romans were probably here first, using the water from the adjacent River Darro, and you can still see Roman and Visisgoth capitals supporting the existing structure. You might want to leave the owner a tip as entry is free.
