The Arab Baths of Girona, located in the northeastern region of Catalonia, Spain, are a notable historical site dating back to the 12th century. Despite their name, the baths were constructed in the Romanesque style, with architectural influences from both Roman and Islamic traditions. The complex features a central hall with a large octagonal pool, surrounded by columns and arches, and includes various rooms such as the frigidarium (cold room), tepidarium (warm room), and caldarium (hot room). These baths were used for public bathing and socializing, and they provide a fascinating glimpse into the communal and architectural practices of the medieval period.
