Els Banys de la Reina (“The Queen’s Baths”), in Calp, Valencian Country.

According to the legend, this swimming pool carved in the rock was the place where a Moorish queen used to take baths, with secret tunnels that lead to her mysterious palace.

Actually, the site is much older, dating back to ancient Roman times. The pools were used to keep fish, and the “secret tunnels” were the cannals endig in perforated gates that allowed water to come and go while keeping the fish inside. It’s possible that the pools also served as an aquatic garden.

Near the pools, there’s a Roman thermal complex and a villa full of mosaics.
