What people say

Menno Bottema
"The Arab bathhouse of Girona was, contrary to what you might suspect, not built by the Moors. This bathhouse was built in the twelfth century by the then inhabitants of Girona who used the old Arab bathhouses as an example. The structure of the bathhouse is exactly like that of an Arab bathhouse. These consisted of an apodyterium (dressing room), a frigidarium (cold room), a tepidarium (warm room), a caldarium (hot room) and a furnus (oven and boiler)."
