Baños de la Reina Mora

The Baños de la Reina Mora, meaning Baths of the Moorish Queen, are thirteenth-century Almohad hammam baths located on Calle Baños in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, and they continued operating as public baths for several decades after the Christian Reconquista of Seville in 1248 until the sixteenth century. The baths represent the Almohad bathing tradition at its most refined, and their survival within the urban fabric of Seville makes them an important monument to the city's Islamic heritage in what was once the capital of the Almohad caliphate in al-Andalus. Now protected as a cultural heritage site, the baths preserve a rare example of Almohad civic architecture in a city whose Moorish monuments are otherwise dominated by the later Mudéjar and Gothic styles of the Christian period.
