United with light, it increases the vitality of the urban centre and creates incomparable mystical compositions.<\/p>\n<p>The Alhambra, in fact, is the best example to show the importance of water in Muslim culture. although this was not an exception. The Arabs who populated the Peninsula for several centuries could not conceive of a city without water, and so the culture of the baths, or Hammam, progressively extended throughout Iberia.<\/p>\n<p>The Arab baths are a demonstration of the importance of water in Muslim culture. This cult of water was due to the properties of the liquid, and how it positively affected the bodies and organisms that were able to enjoy it. It is a well-known fact, and has been previously published in this blog, that more than a need for hygiene, the possibility to enjoy a bath was a social custom.<\/p>\n<p>Water, in addition to its basic properties for life, had other more mystical functions.
