The "Arab Baths" are one of the few relics of Moorish architecture in the old town of Palma. The inner garden is an oasis of calm in the middle of the lively old town.
The Arab bath house (Banys Arabs) of Palma de Mallorca is located in the gardens of Can Fontirroig in the middle of the old town. The middle hall of the building was the steam bath and surprises the visitor with an impressive dome and its skylights. The bathhouse dates from the 11th century, so that its halls and structural elements have only partially survived. According to experts, what has been preserved may have belonged to the palace of a Moorish nobleman. The handsome Arab building in Palma is entered through a gate with a horseshoe arch.
