From the Nasrid period, the Arab Baths of Ronda are the best preserved in the Iberian Peninsula. They are located in the old Islamic suburb of the city, in the Jewish quarter, on the outskirts of what was once the Muslim medina.
Built next to the Arroyo de las Culebras, the perfect place for water supply, the water moved through a well-preserved waterwheel system today. Christian morality and the flooding of the Guadalevín River ended up burying them.
The excavations carried out since 1935 have made it possible to rescue the three bathrooms (cold, warm and hot) and the barrel-vaulted roofs (pierced by star-shaped skylights), which are connected by semicircular arches. In addition, part of the boilers and water conduction systems have been preserved.
