What a cool little out of the way place to visit! Judging by what’s left they certainly look spectacular.

Fascinating to read about the history in this post. I do like visiting places like this and imaging what it must of been like in all its glory

I would have loved to have visited this when I was in Rome. I will definitely check it out if I ever make it back there.

The Romans never cease to amaze me. Sadly I missed this in Rome but it does cast my mind back to Bath in the Uk and the complex there. We still use the same systems to this day in spas, which really says everything.

In reply to Stefan (Berkeley Square Barbarian). I didn't know about the ones in Baden Baden, but they look like a great place to spend an afternoon. Thanks for reading, Stefan!

In reply to Epicurean Expats. No, they brought fresh water with an aqueduct from miles away, then heated it using large furnaces below the baths area. A lot of slaves worked there to keep the temperatures constant.

In reply to kasiawrites. I'm sure they were. I didn't try the VR at the Baths of Caracalla, maybe next time :D

Great post. We’ve actually only visited the baths of the same name that you can find in Baden-Baden, Germany, but will have a look at the Roman ones during our next visit to town.
