Roman Thermae in Varna, Ancient Roman thermal complex in Varna, Bulgaria.
The Roman Thermae in Varna is a large bathing complex featuring separate sections for cold, warm, and hot water, all connected by corridors with marble details. The excavated remains show the basic layout and construction methods of this ancient facility.
This complex was constructed in the late 2nd century AD and served the population for roughly a hundred years. It was abandoned in the late 3rd century and remained buried until modern excavations brought it back to light.
This bath served as a social hub where people gathered, conducted business, and engaged in leisurely activities. The layout reveals how central cleanliness and relaxation were to daily Roman life.
The site is open daily except Sundays and Mondays, with extended hours in summer and reduced hours in winter. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the ground is uneven and exploring the ruins requires time to walk around.
The underground heating system worked through pipes beneath the floors that distributed hot air from a furnace to warm the entire complex. This engineering solution was remarkable for its time and kept all rooms at comfortable temperatures.
