The Arab Baths of Girona are located in the old town of Girona, Catalonia, Spain, a 12th-century Romanesque building inspired by Andalusian bathhouses. Water here reaches around 40°C, and the site offers indoor pools, massage, and a sauna.

Insider tip — The Arab Baths of Girona (Banys Àrabs, 1194) are among Spain's finest examples of medieval bath culture, built in the Romanesque-Moorish style in one of Catalonia's most intact medieval cities. Though built by Christians in the tradition of the hammam rather than actual Arab patrons, the Banys Àrabs preserve the classical Roman-Islamic bath sequence — frigidarium, tepidarium, caldarium — in a city whose medieval Jewish, Moorish, and Christian heritage remains palpably visible in the ancient stone above the Onyar river.
