Arab baths of Torres Torres

Monument · Torres Torres, El Camp de Morvedre, Valencia

The Arab baths of Torres Torres are located in the Plaza de la Iglesia, next to the old quarter and the Séquia Major de Sagunt. The covered enclosure has a rectangular floor plan and contains three also-rectangular rooms, running in parallel north-south, known as cold, warm and hot; the entrance, to the north, led into the cold room, the most austere, while the warm room, of larger area, is divided into three parts by two brick arches forming a side alcove on each side. The hot room, about 6.80 by 2.42 metres, was heated by means of an underground hot-air chamber. The floor is of fired brick laid in herringbone pattern, and light entered through star-shaped skylights. The 2003 excavation made it possible to date the complex to the 14th century, already in Christian times.
