Arab Baths, Medieval public baths in Medina Quarter, Ceuta, Spain.

The Arab Baths feature separate chambers for cold and hot water treatments, with barrel vault ceilings and traditional architectural elements throughout the structure.

Built during the 12th and 13th centuries under Muslim rule, these baths remained operational until the Portuguese occupation of Ceuta in the 15th century.

The baths served both religious purification purposes and social gatherings, reflecting the integration of cleanliness practices in medieval Muslim society.

Located at Plaza de la Paz, the archaeological site contains preserved rooms showing the original layout with cold, warm, and hot chambers.

Archaeological excavations in 2000 and 2004 uncovered evidence of an advanced heating system beneath the floors, similar to Roman hypocaust technology.
