Description
The Baños Árabes (Banys Àrabs) in the old town of Palma is a surviving bathhouse from Mallorca's Moorish era — a listed cultural monument and part of Spain's historic heritage.
A Historic Monument from the Moorish Era
The Arab Baths on Carrer de Can Serra are among the best-preserved examples of Islamic-era architecture on Mallorca. The building dates to the 10th century and has been a listed monument since 1931. Three surviving bathing rooms are open to visitors; the largest impresses with its columns and domed ceiling.
Garden and Atmosphere
The site includes a leafy inner courtyard that feels like a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city. The garden is lushly planted and offers welcome shade — a striking contrast to the bustling old town just beyond its walls.
Commentary and Explanations
In the entrance area, a short introductory video runs in several languages — including German — covering the history of the site. Information panels in each room provide further historical detail in English.
Location in the Centre Quarter
The site is located in the Centre quarter of Palma's old town, at Carrer de Can Serra 7. Tucked away in a quiet lane, it's easily reachable on foot from the historic city centre.
