Dungeons excavated in the same natural walls of the pits, in Alhama de Granada. Located in the oldest part of the Arab quarter of the town, the dungeons were built with a pick and shovel during the Nasrid domination, in the 13th century.

At first they were used to store and preserve grain, although during the war between the Muslim and Christian troops they were converted into prisons.

Alhama de Granada is a city in the province of Granada located in the southwest of the province. Its name comes from the Arabic and means hot waters, a name that refers to the spa of thermal waters it has. It seems that this spa has its origins in Roman times and that its use was continued by the Arabs.
