Banys de la Reina, Calp

The archaeological site features ancient thermal baths, residential areas, and fish farming facilities carved into the coastal rock formation along the Mediterranean Sea.

During the first and second centuries AD, Romans established a settlement with thermal baths and constructed a water wheel system for drinking water supply.

The site received its name Banys de la Reina from local folklore suggesting that a Moorish queen used hidden tunnels to access private coastal baths.

Visitors can explore the excavated sections of the complex, which represents 25 percent of the total archaeological area near Peñón de Ifach.

The site contains six interconnected fish farms with gates regulating water flow, demonstrating advanced Roman aquaculture methods from 2000 years ago.
