Baños de la Reina (Calpe)
Banys de la Reina
Roman fish-pond ruins carved into the rock by the sea in Calpe, open to visitors alongside a Roman settlement site. Admission is free.
The Baños de la Reina are in fact Roman fish ponds cut into the coastal rocks between the 1st and 4th centuries AD. Several square and round pools connect to the sea through channels. The name comes from a legend that a Moorish queen once bathed here. On the land beside them, the ruins of a Roman settlement show baths, houses and workshops. The site is at the southern end of Arenal-Bol beach, right by the seafront promenade. Admission is free, and it can be visited together with the Salinas de Calpe and the Peñón de Ifach.
