The Llíria City Council has initiated a shock plan to restore the Arab Baths, a valuable medieval monument suffering from severe degradation due to leaks and dampness. The investment amounts to €136,942.36 and its main objective is to resolve the pathologies threatening the survival of this Local Heritage Site.

The architectural peculiarity of the Arab Baths, located more than five meters below street level and beneath a residential building, makes them vulnerable. Despite a previous restoration in 2008, dampness from lack of ventilation and leaks from terraces and interior patios of the upper building have accelerated their deterioration. The new intervention will focus on sealing these leaks and waterproofing the surrounding area.

This complex, which served as an Islamic bath until the late 15th century and was later converted into a tannery, is a key piece of Valencian cultural heritage. Its preservation is a priority for the governing team.

The civil works will be entirely financed by a direct subsidy from the Provincial Council of Valencia, through its Works and Investments Plan. The tender for the works will be carried out imminently.

The Councilor for Historical Heritage, Reme Tordera, has expressed confidence that the Arab Baths will be fully rehabilitated and open to the public during 2026. This action is part of a broader cultural strategy that includes over three million euros in investments to consolidate Llíria as a benchmark for archaeological tourism, alongside the recovery of the Oracle Sanctuary and Roman Baths of Mura and the restoration of the Medieval Wall.

'We are taking a qualitative step forward in the conservation, dissemination, and promotion of our history,' stated Tordera, who assures that the rescue of this subterranean treasure will restore the splendor to a must-see visit in the Valencian Community.
