Workers renovating a bar in Seville, Spain, have uncovered a well-preserved hammam, or a bathhouse, believed to date back to the 12th Century.
The discovery was "completely unexpected" inside the Giralda Bar in the city centre, archaeologist Alvaro Jimenez told AFP news agency.
A star-shaped skylight emerged immediately after the workers began hammering the walls of the building.
They then uncovered nearly 90 skylights in the roof of the Moorish-style bar.
Beautiful Islamic artwork was found on the walls of the room.
