I have read that there are the largest Baños Arabes on the Iberian peninsula - and of those I saw in Andalusia, they were not only the largest but also very pretty

The Arab baths are amazing. You're immediately presented with a rich cultural history of Andalucía. The baths are very large and well preserved. You can see the distinct style of Arabian architecture by looking up at the ceiling and seeing stars etched from stone. You are also able to view the different sections of the baths, from the main lounging areas, as well as the the pathways that were used to carry river water into the baths. For me, my favorite section of the Arab baths was the vestíbulo. The vestíbulo is a long entrance hall where you´re immediately shown the intricacy of the baths. When I went, it was my first time I had seen any arab baths and I was immediately blown away. If you go to the top floor, you can also go out on the terrace where you can get an incredible view of the Cathedral and the rest of Jaén. If you enjoy the history of Spain then this is a location that you shouldn't miss.

This is the Arab baths - without the water. It’s free and it’s big. It has a lot more to see than just the baths. It’s mainly in Spanish though. Worth a visit if you like history and historic buildings and the walk to the museum is nice

The ancient Arab Bath is in quite good condition given its age and well worth a visit. Recommend to sit down in the video room first to better understand the structure and its use (narrated in Spanish). A small café with roof terrace and nice view over the old city tops it off.

Wow, much better than it first appears. Many levels covering art and history plus one of the best views in the city from the top floor. And it's free. Also had a very good toasted sandwich from the cafe.
