Moorish Baths, Gibraltar, 14th century bathhouse in Gibraltar, United Kingdom.

The Moorish Baths consist of four chambers with arched formations, pillars, and star-shaped roof openings that provide natural lighting to each room.

Built during the Marinid dynasty around 1355, these baths were part of the palace complex belonging to the Moorish Governor of Gibraltar.

The bath structure incorporates architectural elements from different periods, including Visigothic and Roman designed capitals above the supporting pillars.

Located in the basement of Gibraltar Museum on Bomb House Lane, visitors can explore the baths while learning about local history.

The heating system operates through underground ducts that channel hot air from a boiler chamber, similar to ancient Roman hypocaust methods.
