| Period | The monumental complex of Bagni di Cefalà Diana (also known as the Arab Baths) is a former thermal bath in Sicily. It is located about 2 km north-northeast of the town of Cefalà Diana, in the Metropolitan City of Palermo. The architectural complex stands at the foot of Monte Chiarastella, against a rocky spur from which a hot spring once flowed. Its origins are believed to date back to the end of Arab rule in Sicily. |
