After going through the main access door to the baths, you are now in the reception hall of the Alcazar Caliphal Baths museum. To your right there is a reception and ticket sale desk, as well as information panels on the wall. To your left, there is a zigzagged wooden sloped ramp. It is not very steep. This ramp will take you to the reception hall belonging to the Taifa era, and to an almohade bath. At the start of the ramp, beside it, there is a glass cupboard where with a hypothetical modelled recreation of the Caliphal Alcazar. To your front, going through a wide hole in the original wall, and a not very steep ramp, you will access the first room of the museum: the dressing rooms.

The result of years of several improvements and alterations on the "Andalusi Baths" are three different separate areas. The east is the Caliphal Bath, a reception room of the Taifa period. The west is an Almohad bath. In the Caliphal bath there is an arcade, a dressing room, the cold water room, a lukewarm water room and a hot water room as well as an oven, woodshed and service areas. The bathing course followed an L-shaped passageway, that way, the main rooms could not be seen from outside.
A porticoed hall led from the Caliphal to the Almohad baths. At its front there was a garden with a fountain. The reception hall, erected in the 11th Century during the Taifa of Seville, was accessed through this portico.
Under the reign of the Almohad Dynasty in the 12th Century a new royal bath was built. The lateral hall rooms were reused as a vestibule area. The old oven was kept.
