The Archaeological Project of the Bany del Carreró
At the beginning of the 20 th century, the establishment was decorated with Neo-Arab details, such as false horseshoe and polylobate arches, skirting boards made of tiles in the style of the Nazar dynasty of Granada, and Arabesque-looking plasterwork. The restoration process that took place from 1953 to1963, together with the closing of the baths in 1959, completely concealed and destroyed these ornamental additions of the modern era, which had survived the post-war period. The only exceptions were the entrance façade and the skirting-board tiles, which were recently eliminated. The most striking of all was the destruction, by the use of a hammer, of the pink bathtubs made of solid marble.
