Roman thermae of Ampurias, Roman bath complex in Sant Martí d'Empúries, Spain.
The Roman thermae of Ampurias are the remains of an ancient bathing complex with separate chambers for cold, warm, and hot water. An underground heating system and water channels connected these rooms together.
The baths were built as the Romans expanded their settlement along the Mediterranean coast in this area. They became an important part of life in this ancient port town.
The baths were gathering spaces where people met to bathe and socialize as part of daily routines. These places reveal how Romans valued cleanliness and relaxation in their everyday lives.
The remains are accessible through marked pathways that guide you through the different bathing areas. You can clearly see the underground heating system and how the complex was laid out.
The original lead pipes in the complex show how advanced Roman water engineering was. These pipes and the drainage system remain surprisingly well preserved.
