Roman Baths, Architectural ensemble in Park Sanssouci, Germany

The Roman Baths complex consists of multiple interconnected buildings featuring Italian-inspired architecture with pergolas, arcades, and decorative gardens along an artificial lake.

Crown Prince Frederick William IV commissioned architects Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Friedrich Ludwig Persius to construct this architectural ensemble between 1829 and 1840.

The buildings incorporate numerous Italian Renaissance elements, including herms of Dionysus, Pompeian column fragments, and an ancient sarcophagus of a Centaur.

Visitors should note that the Roman Baths complex remains closed for renovation works, with updates available through the Historic Windmill Visitor Centre.

Despite their name, these structures never functioned as bathing facilities but rather served as an artistic representation of classical Roman architecture.
