Tenerías Baths

Il nome di questi bagni è legato ad un altro giacimento archeologico poco distante scoperto durante degli scavi per la costruzione di case private. Come spesso accade nel centro storico di Toledo, ricchissimo in ogni suo angolo di tesori storici, prima dell'inizio dei lavori si rese obbligatorio un controllo archeologico che portó a questa straordinaria scoperta: Un complesso di bagni e un complesso per la concia e la tintura delle pelli risalente al XII secolo e utilizzato sino al XVIII secolo. Oggi la struttura è stata completamente restaurata, ma è visibile solo su prenotazione. In qualsiasi momento è possibile invece percorrere una passarella che circonda il complesso dall'esterno, facilmente accessibile dalla passeggiata lungo il fiume Tajo.

The name of these baths is related to another nearby archaeological site discovered during the excavations for the construction of private houses. As often happens in the historic center of Toledo, rich in every corner of historic treasures, before the work became mandatory control that led to this extraordinary archaeological discovery: A complex of baths and a complex for tanning and dyeing of leather dating from the twelfth century and used until the eighteenth century. Today the building has been completely restored, but it is only accessible by appointment. At any time, you can instead take a catwalk that surrounds the complex from the outside, easily accessible from the promenade along the river Tajo.

Están localizados junto al río Tajo a su paso por Toledo, cerca de la iglesia de San Sebastián de las Carreras, al sur de la ciudad. Fueron descubiertos y excavados entre 1988 y 1989. Posteriormente, en 1997, se encargaron nuevas excavaciones, confirmandose la importancia del yacimiento y la existencia de una ocupación humana durante la Edad Media, que debió prolongarse hasta la Edad Moderna. Los baños constaban de varias habitaciones consecutivas y se complementaban con las zonas de acceso y servicios. Eran construcciones de gruesos muros y poca altura, de cubierta abovedada. El conjunto arqueológico está rodeado de un camino que y permite la contemplación desde fuera. Además, una plataforma y un panel explicativo ayudan a comprender la globalidad del yacimiento.

They are located next to the River Tagus at Toledo, near the church of San Sebastian de las Carreras, south of the city. They were discovered and excavated between 1988 and 1989. Later, in 1997, new excavations were commissioned, confirming the importance of the site and the existence of human occupation during the Middle Ages, which had extended to the modern age. The bathrooms consisted of several consecutive rooms complemented with access and service areas. They were built with thick walls and low rise domed cover. The archaeological site is surrounded by a path and allows contemplation from outside. In addition, a platform and an information board help to understand the totality of the deposit.
