Highly recommended! Not only you get to see the 50sqm of the Arabs Baths build in S.XI but also a very rich ethnographic collection. And if that wasn't enough there are amazing views of the Jaen region in the top floor and all of this completely free

The Arab baths are in the basement of what is now a museum building with exhibits of all kinds of Spanish life. Also a good view of the city from the roof terrace.
Entry is free.
The one disappointment was the general lack of information and explanation about the exhibits. Even in Spanish there is not enough information to understand the baths fully. No leaflet or guide to the place. It would be unreasonable to complain about the total lack of a information in any other language, but many other museums do provide information in other languages - perhaps they might look to produce a written leaflet at some stage

There are more levels to this building than you would imagine at first sight. Each level takes you through a different era in local history and culture. I thought I would really only enjoy the remains of the baths themselves but there really is a lot more to see than just those.

Very well-preserved baths worth seeing. Part of the bathhouse floor is covered with glass, so we can walk ancient place without destroying it. Above the baths you can see a museum with regional costumes and everyday equipment from those times. Through the windows you can see a beautiful cityscape. The tour takes about half an hour and getting to the bathhouse is simple. For people with disabilities, thresholds and stairs may be a problem. The corridors are well lit and signposted. The free entrance was a pleasant surprise. The time spent here was interesting and enjoyable. The baths are definitely worth recommending.

The museum was quite interesting. The building is historical but it is renovated and gives you a nice feeling. The entrance is for free and the staff is really helpfull. Inside there are a lot of things to see. You can find there old paintings, costums and clothes which people in Jaen was wearing long time ago, looks of old style houses, the tools they used and many more. But i think for me the biggest impresion made the Banos Arabes. I haven't seen anything like that before so it was new to me. They took me back to the old times and i could imagine how people used them then. I also liked the silence and the cleanliness of the museum. But if you do not know spanish well you actually won't be able to understand anything, because all the information is written in spanish. But overall i reccomend going there! It's worth it!

This Museum is free but make sure that you come along with some ID as they take details. This is a small inconvenience for an excellent museum. Set in a wonderful mansion house, descend to the Arabic Baths that were built on roman remains. The Baths are impressive and have been well excavated and its worth spending time here.
The other rooms have local displays of transport, textiles and paintings. These are excellent and worth the visit.
Overall a delightful museum and worth the visit

Although you must walk for a few minutes (after having visited the Cathedral) the building, where the Baths are, is quite interesting, not only for the baths, but also for the small museum depicting the major regional agricultural products exploitation. Enjoy!

The building and museum above the arab baths are very interesting and the bath remains are worth seeing. Free to EU citizens so Brits will have to pay after Brexit.

Off the beaten track. Well restored bath house. Impressive well renovated. Worthwhile the visit. Surprisingly for free. Different smells in every sub level area, smells of the past.

So glad we discovered this interesting museum. From the wonderful restored Arab baths in the basement to the roof top terrace and cafe with some of the best views over Jaén and much more in between, this museum is definitely worth a visit.
