Banys Arabs

One of Majorca's only remaining specimens of Islamic architecture is seen at the Banys Arabs, often known as the "Arab Baths," in Palma. The Banys Arabs, who date to the eleventh century, were possibly a part of a wealthy Moorish resident's mansion. The two rooms of the last intact Arab baths are now shown to visitors of the Banys Arabs. It's interesting to note that some elements of the Banys Arabs are older than the actual location; for instance, some of the columns date back to the Roman Empire.

There are essentially no Arabs left in Medina Mayurqa's Arab city (now known as Palma). They were constructed using resources from former Muslim, Byzantine, and Roman structures and were inspired by their architectural designs. The baths are seamlessly incorporated into the gardens of the Can Fontirroig manor house's old orchard.

Today, tourists from all around the world appreciate the elaborate bathhouse remnants, where each column has a unique shape from its origins in several old Roman, Muslim, and Byzantine structures. Spend some time at the Can Fontitroig manor house's former orchard and consider the function that the baths would have served in the nobleman's home. It is common for locals and tourists to bring picnics to enjoy there.
