Arab Baths of Jaén, 11th century hammam in Jaén, Spain.
The Arab Baths span 450 square meters beneath the Palace of Villardompardo, containing multiple vaulted chambers with distinct temperature zones for bathing rituals.
Built during the Muslim rule in 1002, the baths functioned until 1246 when Ferdinand III conquered the city, after which they became tanneries.
The bathhouse layout follows Islamic bathing traditions with separate rooms for cold, warm, and hot water immersion connected by arched passageways.
The baths open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 AM to 9 PM, Sunday from 9 AM to 2 PM, with free admission as part of the Villardompardo Cultural Center.
Hidden for four centuries under a palace, these baths represent the largest known Andalusi bathhouse complex in Spain, rediscovered in 1913.
