The location of the Roman Baths of Fortuna was first pinpointed in 1984, thanks to the work of Gonzalo Matilla to provide archaeological context for the Black Cave of Fortuna. Although modern baths already existed at the same site and were in use until the first third of the 19th century, the area was known as "Los Baños Moros" (The Moorish Baths) from the late 19th century onward.
