BANYS ÀRABS · Website

The so-called Banys Àrabs are actually public baths from the Romanesque period that follow the models of Roman baths, Muslim baths, and Jewish mikwàs traditions, a tradition that was revived from the 11th century with the development of cities. The building is inspired by the typology of North African baths, but its architectural elements are fully Romanesque: semi-circular arches, barrel vaults, Corinthian capitals stylized in the manner of the 13th century, etc. Notable is the octagonal temple with eight slender columns and a mixed structure of barrel and conical vault, as well as the external lantern and the alcoves of the caldarium. Between 1980-1985 and 1989-1998, various restoration and adaptation works were carried out on the building, turning it into one of the most important and prominent tourist attractions in the Old Town.

Homepage

We have developed the corporate website for the Banys Àrabs , primarily based on two elements: the shapes of each of the rooms and their colors. The main goal is to showcase their splendor, with a full-screen slider on the homepage, explaining the history and then providing information on usage (prices, hours, social media, activities, and contact). The images shine, capturing our attention.

The Style and the content

When you have the magnificent opportunity to represent the potential of such an iconic building as the Banys Àrabs, minimalist and respectful intervention is the best option. Minimalism and modernity harmonize with classical architecture.

The sections of the website include information about the various areas of the baths (the changing room, the cold room, the warm room, the hot room, and the oven), the opening hours and prices, the activities (in agenda format), and contact information. All of them follow the website's aesthetics, with distinctive touches of the home. You can see more at: here!
