The old Moorish Baths have only recently been discovered. The ruins were hidden between several houses in the Plaza del Baño, located close to the Parish Church of the Assumption.
The remains of these baths from the Andalusian period follow the parallel-nave typology of the Zirid period and date from the around the 13th-15th centuries.
Only the warm room and the hot room have survived to the present day, while the changing room and the cold room have been lost.
The walls were built with Alfacar stone ashlars and the brick vault is a highlight. The two rooms are similar in size, about five metres long and three metres wide. A segmental archway leads to the hot room.
In front of the doorway, inside the hot room, there are the remains of a dipping basin and to one side a chimney to remove the smoke from the ovens.
The baths were supplied by the Aynadamar irrigation canal through several of the branches and offshoots that supplied the town.
The baths are currently being renovated by the Alfacar Town Council.
