Roman thermae of Ampurias

The thermal complex contains separate chambers for cold, warm, and hot baths, connected by a network of underground heating systems and water channels.

Built during the Roman occupation of Empúries in 218 BC, these public baths formed part of the expanding Roman settlement along the Mediterranean coast.

The thermae served as meeting places where Romans gathered for bathing rituals, physical exercise, and social interactions according to specific protocols.

Visitors can explore the structural remains of the Roman baths through designated pathways that lead through different bathing chambers and water systems.

The thermal complex features original lead pipes and drainage systems that demonstrate advanced Roman engineering methods for water distribution.
