Old Jewish Baths
Caelum (“sky” in Latin) is a space where you can share and enjoy delicacies, liquors, and wines produced in monasteries or according to traditional recipes.
The exterior of Caelum grabs your attention as you walk down Palla St. (the exact address is Palla 8).
The delicacies and other tempting treats in Caelum’s window displays are interesting and invite you to take a closer look. Once inside, the aroma is floral, the atmosphere relaxing, and the decoration simple and natural. All of this comes together to make an agreeable and appetizing place.
I’d recommend it for people who want to take a break during their route through the Jewish neighborhood to rest up and gather their strength.
The space is divided into a shop area at street level where you can buy the treats and another area for eating in the lower room. In the cellar, Caelum still maintains the original architecture which seems like it was once a Miqvé, or Jewish bath.
It’s believed that the space was destined to be the women’s bathing area and the men’s bathing area would have been situated in what is now the S’Oliver shop on BanysNous 10.
