This National Monument brings together two historic moments of great heritage and symbolic value for the city. It is a public bathing complex from the end of the period of Islamic occupation of the Algarve (it would have operated between the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries), having been occupied in the XNUMXth century as a dwelling.
On the other hand, it includes the archaeological remains of the noble house from the end of the XNUMXth century and the medieval and modern wall.
