In medieval Spain there were numerous public baths. These were used by both men and women, in rigorous shifts from dawn to early afternoon. In general, the Arab Baths used to have different rooms, such as changing rooms, rooms with cold, warm and hot water, and the stove. The main room, which occupied the center, was the warm one. It is also the largest room, and where people spent the most time. In the central room, which was accessed after passing through the massage room or the steam room, it was a place of rest, to drink or to talk. The decoration of the rooms consisted of geometric motifs, which gave the premises a simple and welcoming air. The lighting, produced indirectly through several small openings in the ceiling, in the shape of a star, contributed to this. Originally covered by colored glass, they let through a dim and nuanced light, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
