Baths of Vasto

The Roman baths complex features stone walls, underground chambers, and water channels spread across multiple levels near the Adriatic coast.

The thermal complex dates back to the 2nd century AD when Vasto, then called Histonium, served as a significant Roman municipality.

The baths exemplify Roman engineering techniques through their hypocaust heating system and architectural elements that influenced later Italian thermal establishments.

The archaeological site remains partially excavated and requires advance arrangements with local authorities for guided visits during specified hours.

Located within the medieval center, the baths preserve original marble decorations and intricate floor mosaics depicting marine themes.
