Baños árabes de Santa María, Arab baths in central Córdoba, Spain
The Arab Baths of Santa María contain three vaulted chambers with arched galleries, decorated capitals, and an underground water tank at ten meters depth.
Originally constructed during the Caliphal period, these baths underwent reconstruction by Mudéjar builders in the 14th century and received their name after the Christian conquest.
The baths represent the continuation of Muslim bathing traditions into Christian society, maintaining architectural elements like horseshoe arches and caliphal-style decorative patterns.
Located on Velázquez Bosco Street, the complex opens daily except Tuesdays, offering daytime visits and evening dining experiences since August 2021.
The central tepidarium features eight columns supporting horseshoe arches decorated in alternating yellow and red patterns, combining Visigothic and Caliphal architectural elements.
