Roman thermae at Baelo Claudia

The archaeological site contains complete sections of thermal rooms, including cold water pools, hot water chambers, and changing facilities with original stone walls.

The thermal complex reached its peak during the first century AD when Baelo Claudia received municipal status under Emperor Claudius's reign.

The baths operated as a social gathering space where citizens conducted business meetings, exercised, and participated in daily cleaning rituals.

Visitors can access the thermal complex through a modern interpretation center that provides detailed information about Roman bathing practices and architecture.

The remains include an advanced water heating system with underground chambers that circulated hot air to maintain different temperature zones.
