Arab Baths, Palma de Mallorca, Majorca

The Banys Arabs or Arab Baths, Palma de Mallorca, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. These Moorish baths are on Ca'n Serra street near the Convent of the Cathedral, and include the lush gardens of Ca'n Fontirroig. The small two-roomed brick building that once housed the bath is of Byzantine origin, built in the 11th century and possibly once the home of a Muslim nobleman. The bath room has a cupola with five oculi and twelve columns pillaged from an earlier Roman building. The second room is a brick cube with a small model of the baths as they once were.
