The only remaining complete Moorish-built building in Palma is the bathhouse in the medieval quarter. It contains an elegant horseshoe-arched and domed chamber, supported by 12 columns, and is fronted by a garden with picnic tables.

The Banys Arabs are about a 5 to 10 minute stroll from La Seu Cathedral, through the backstreets of Palma.

It costs 1.5 euros to go in.

The baths themselves are quite well preserved, and they are surrounded by a very quaint garden, where you can sit and take a breather before venturing on.

Most Arabian/Moors architecture was destroyed when they were run out of Mallorca so this is a rare specimen.
