Activity of a ritual nature, the hygiene of the body was considered an act of religious purification. However, the bathroom was also a meeting place, a place of rest and a relationship. When in 711 the troops of the Umayyad Caliphate of Damascus, coming from the Middle East and North Africa, entered the peninsula through Gibraltar, they found the water management technology that had been created by the Romans. Aqueducts, sanitation, hot springs. An engineering that they soon adopted and that reached heights until then unattainable. From this fusion of cultures emerged the Andalusian Hammams, very different from the public baths of the rest of the world. In medieval Spain there were numerous public baths in the most important cities. These were used by both men and women, in rigorous shifts from dawn to early afternoon. In general, Arab Baths Andalusians used to have different rooms, such as clothing "bayt el-maslaj" , rooms of cold water "bayt el-baryt" , warm "bayt el-wastani" hot "bayt el-sajun ' , and the wood-fired oven that also gave heat to the floor through hot air channels based on the technology of the Roman hypocausts. The main room, which occupied the center, was the warm one. It is also the largest room, and where people spent the most time. En la sala central, a la que se accedía tras pasar por la sala de masaje o la sala de vapor, era un lugar de descanso, para beber o para conversar. La decoración de las estancias se componía de motivos geométricos, que daban un aire sencillo y acogedor al recinto. A ello contribuía la iluminación, producida de modo indirecto a través de varias pequeñas aberturas en el techo, en forma de estrella. En origen cubiertas por vidrios coloreados, dejaban pasar una luz tenue y matizada, creando un ambiente de paz y tranquilidad.Un espacio único en los cascos históricos de Granada, Córdoba, Madrid y Málaga, que recrea un ambiente propio de la España andalusí, cuando la península ibérica fue lugar de encuentro de las civilizaciones musulmana, cristiana y judía.

The building that houses the Arab Baths dates from the 13th-14th century and during archaeological excavations, pools of water were found.
