Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Baths of Doña María de Padilla were built around the 12th century and owe their structure to an ancient Almohad garden. They served as a recreational area to take refuge from the summer heat, as well as a food storage area.

They receive this name because it is believed that Doña María de Padilla, the lover of King Pedro I the Cruel, walked naked through the palace and bathed in this beautiful stone cistern coated in lime. Legend also has it that Pedro I made all those who visited him drink from the water in which Doña María bathed. Once they drank, the audience began.

The most curious thing about the romance between Pedro I and Doña María is that they never married. They had extramarital relations while Pedro married other women. Although it is true that it was Doña María de Padilla who gave him more offspring. Pedro I got the archbishop of Toledo to annul all their previous marriages and declared Doña María queen posthumously. The remains of both rest together in the Royal Chapel of the Cathedral of Seville.
