Hammam Essalihine, Ancient Roman thermal bath complex in El Hamma Khenchela, Algeria

The facility contains two distinct pools measuring eight meters in diameter, with water temperatures reaching 70 degrees Celsius throughout the structure.

Built during the Flavian Dynasty around 70 CE, this Roman bathhouse served as a gathering place for social activities and therapeutic treatments.

The thermal complex maintains separate sections for men and women, following traditional practices while providing therapeutic treatments through mineral-rich waters.

Located in the Aures Mountains at 1073 meters elevation, the site receives approximately 700,000 visitors annually seeking treatments for various health conditions.

The thermal springs continue to function with the original Roman engineering systems, delivering mineral-rich waters at constant temperatures after 2000 years.
