Baños de Tenerías were a public bath in Toledo, in Castile-La Mancha. They date from the early 11th century, when Toledo was under Islamic rule, and were one of six Arab baths in the city. The name Tenerías comes from the leather-working district where the baths stood. People used them to wash before prayers at the nearby Al-Dabbagin Mosque, which later became the Church of San Sebastián. The baths included several rooms: the living room (bayt al-mash), the latrines, the cold room (bayt al-bárid), the temperate room (bayt al-wastani), the hot room (bayt al-sajûn), plus a cistern and a qanat.
