On your right, you’ll pass the entrance to Palma’s Arab Baths. You may have heard of them before—they are the best-preserved from the Islamic period, with no restoration done. Between the 10th and 13th centuries, the city of Palma, then known as Madina Mayurqa, experienced significant economic growth under Muslim influence. These Arab Baths were likely part of the home of a Muslim noble. The central room is made of columns and topped with an oculus letting in natural light. The visit is very quick and requires a small entrance fee. If you decide to go in, don’t be surprised—there’ll be only that central room and a charming garden under the shade. You’ll first watch a short video explaining how the hot and cold water system worked back in the 11th century. Then you’ll find yourself among well-preserved remains of chimneys, pipes, and amphorae used to heat the water and regulate the temperature in the rooms. It’s the only vestige left of Palma’s Muslim past and thus holds important historic value, but be aware that the visit itself might feel quite brief.
