Today an archaeological site, the Baths of Cefalà Diana (province of Palermo) were Arab baths situated in a simple quadrangular building near a source of hot water from a rocky spur in a rural area.
Inside the ancient building, where Roman and Norman artefacts have been found, a single room with a vaulted ceiling was divided into two areas by a triple pointed arch on two columns. The larger area has three basins in the floor, one next to the other, while the other area has a single basin.
The water sources that fed the basins in the past are now part of the Riserva naturale orientata Bagni di Cefalà Diana e Chiarastella.
