The Bañuelo in Granada - Well Preserved 11th Century Arabic Baths



These Arab baths have survived because of the building on top of it of a private home, commenced almost from the day of the Spanish occupation of the city.
In 1918, The Bañuelo was declared a National Monument and was restored by the architect Balbas.

Construction of The Bañuelo seems to date from the Eleventh Century. The baths are undoubtedly the oldest and best-preserved Arab baths in Spain, and the oldest work of Muslim Granada.
You can access The Bañuelo through a small house, renovated in the Christian era. Its rooms are rectangular and it has various chambers with brick arches, with a star-like window in the roof for allowing in light.
