Banys Arabs
About
The Banys Àrabs, or Arab Baths of Palma, stand as one of the most evocative vestiges of the island's Moorish heritage. Located within the historic garden of Can Serra, the two‑roomed brick structure reflects 11th‑century Islamic bathhouse design, featuring a central hall surrounded by a series of elegant columns and an interior hypocaust system that once heated the steam rooms. Visitors step into a space where the remnants of a Roman wall and the subtle hues of sun‑filtered stone tell a tale of layered opulence and cultural fusion. The baths, which once served as a private residence for a Muslim noble, now offer a quiet glimpse into the daily rhythms of the medieval city of Medina Mayurqa. An accessible entrance welcomes families, history enthusiasts, and architecture lovers – with free admission for children under ten and a modest fee of €2.50 for adults.
