Roman thermae of Lucentum

The thermal complex contains distinct areas including the apodyterium for changing clothes, tepidarium for warm baths, caldarium for hot baths, and frigidarium for cold water immersion.

The Roman baths of Lucentum operated between the first century BC and first century AD, serving as a central gathering point for the Mediterranean trading settlement.

The thermal complex reflects Roman social traditions where citizens gathered daily not only for bathing but also for business discussions and community interactions.

The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours from Tuesday to Sunday, with guided tours available through the Alicante Museum of Archaeology.

The thermal complex features an advanced underground heating system called hypocaust, with preserved clay pipes that circulated hot air beneath the marble floors.
