Roman thermae in Campo Valdés, Roman baths archaeological site in Campo Valdés, Gijón, Spain.
The Roman thermae in Campo Valdés is an excavated complex with separate sections for cold, warm, and hot water, located near the beach. The site shows the layout of a well-organized bathing facility with multiple functional areas and preserved architectural details.
The complex was built in the first centuries after Christ outside the city walls as a public bathing facility. It played a central role in the Roman settlement and demonstrates how important such facilities were for the local population.
These baths served as a gathering place where people carried out daily rituals and met with neighbors. Visitors can today understand how central these facilities were to everyday social life.
The site is reachable on foot from the beach and combines open-air structures with an attached museum. The museum displaying artifacts helps visitors better understand the layouts and functions of the different areas.
The site combines two different functions: alongside the bathing areas, there were also living quarters for residents. Some preserved mosaic floors display elaborate decoration with scenes that held meaning for those who lived there.
