The Banys Àrabs, or Arab baths, one of the few remnants of Palma’s Moorish past, are accessible via the quiet street Ca’n Serra near the monastery of the cathedral and include the lush gardens of Ca’n Fontirroig, where Sardinian warriors live, House sparrows, cacti, palm trees and a large selection of flowers and ferns. The small two-room brick building that once housed the baths is of Byzantine origin and dates from the 11th century. It may have once been part of the home of a Muslim nobleman. The bathroom has a dome with five oculi that let in dazzling light. The twelve pillars that held the small room were looted from an earlier Roman building. The ground above the Hypocaust was removed by people in the middle, mainly to photograph the entrance and the garden beyond. The whole room is in a pretty run down condition. The other room is a brick cube with a small model of the bathrooms that were once in the corner.
