Balneario de Carratraca, Historic thermal spa in Carratraca, Spain
The Balneario de Carratraca features a red sandstone facade divided into three sections with a central two-story structure and single-story side wings.
The spa's construction began in April 1852 when a private company received management rights, leading to its official opening on June 29, 1855.
The thermal establishment incorporates marble columns, elliptical pools, and neoclassical elements that represented 19th-century Spanish bourgeoisie social gatherings.
The interior layout includes a central hall, separate corridors for warm baths and pools, and multiple treatment rooms distributed throughout the facility.
The building contains a room specifically reserved for Empress Eugenie de Montijo, though she never visited the thermal establishment.
