Baños árabes del Bañuelo

The Bañuelo features rectangular chambers with brick arches, marble columns, and star-shaped skylights arranged in a sequence of cold, warm, and hot rooms.

Built during the Zirid period, the bathhouse survived the Catholic Monarchs' era when similar establishments were destroyed due to their association with perceived immorality.

The hammam served as a central gathering place where residents performed religious ablutions and participated in social interactions within the Muslim community.

Located at Carrera del Darro 31, the bathhouse opens daily with varying seasonal hours and offers combined tickets for access to other Andalusian monuments.

The facility maintains its original hydraulic system with water channels and underground chambers that regulated temperature through an intricate network of pipes.
