Palace of Villadompardo and Arab Baths

Villadompardo’s Palace is a Renaissance building from the end of the 16^th century, it was the residence of Peru’s viceroy Fernando de Torres y Portugal. It was built under the ruins of the old Arab Baths that remained buried until Enrique Romero discovered them in 1913. In the seventies they were restored by Luis Berges Roldán, from that moment the Arab Baths from the 10^th-11^th century were open to the public; they are considered the largest and best preserved of Spain.

Nowadays, the Palace houses the "Manuel Moral" Naif Art Museum and the Popular Traditions Museum.

The restoration works of the palace were awarded with the Europa Nostrum Award in 1984.
