Roman thermae of Cartago Nova, Roman baths in Ancient Roman forum district, Cartagena, Spain

The thermal complex contains separate cold, warm, and hot rooms connected by an advanced underground heating system through terracotta pipes and channels.

Built during the Roman Empire's expansion in Hispania, these public baths formed part of Carthago Nova's transformation into a major administrative center under Emperor Augustus.

The thermae acted as social gathering spaces where citizens participated in daily bathing rituals and engaged in business discussions across social classes.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through guided tours that explain the Roman bathing processes and engineering techniques used in ancient times.

The thermal complex features original mosaic floors and preserved plumbing systems that demonstrate Roman hydraulic engineering capabilities in the Mediterranean region.
