Google Reviews
Unos baños bien conservados y restaurados. Junto con la Catedral, el Alcazar, la sinagoga, el puente etc son imprescindibles en una visita cultural al centro histórico de Córdoba.
Antiguos baños árabes del Alcázar muy bien conservados. Fueron construidos por el Califa durante la época del al-Ándalus. Se trata de una visita breve pero curiosa. Perfecto para una pausa en el camino. La entrada cuesta 3 euros. El recorrido se hace en unos 20 minutos. Al principio te ponen una proyección cinematográfica para que entiendas el contexto histórico del Hammam. Visitas las distintas estancias de los baños en los cuales hay carteles descriptivos de cada zona. Si tienes alguna duda puedes preguntarle a un chico francés que trabaja como guía. Cuando le hice una consulta me la explicó con todo tipo de detalles y con pasión. Se nota que lo vive y lo ha estudiado a fondo. ¡Experiencia interesante!
Muy curiosos de visitar . Se conservan bien.Al principio te ponen un vídeo explicativo sobre la historia de los baños
