Baños del Alcázar Califal, Arabic baths in Campo de los Santos Mártires, Córdoba, Spain.
The structure features multiple rooms with stone block walls, vaulted ceilings containing star-shaped openings, and ultra-semicircular arches supported by marble columns.
Constructed during the 10th century under Caliph Alhakem II, these baths were discovered in 1903 and underwent extensive archaeological excavation between 1961 and 1964.
The hammam served as a fundamental space for Muslim hygiene rituals, requiring cleansing before prayer while functioning as a social gathering place.
The site maintains regular hours from Tuesday to Friday between 8:30 and 20:45, with reduced hours during weekends and complete accessibility for wheelchair users.
The baths contain preserved plasterwork displaying ataurique patterns and Arabic inscriptions from modifications made during the Almoravid and Almohad periods.

The historical monuments of Córdoba document architectural development from the 1st to the 20th century. The Mosque-Cathedral with its 856 columns forms the centerpiece of the religious heritage. The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos with its terraced gardens and the Roman bridge over the Guadalquivir River bear witness to the Roman and Moorish past. The archaeological site of Medina Azahara lies outside the city and displays the remains of the 10th-century palace city. Medieval churches and Renaissance palaces line the historic center. Traditional courtyards with fountains and flowers characterize the residential quarters of the old town.
