Caerleon Roman Fortress and Baths, Roman fortress and baths museum in Caerleon, Wales.
The archaeological complex includes preserved military barracks, an amphitheater, and extensive bathing facilities with cold and hot water rooms spanning 50 acres.
Built in 75 AD, this fortress housed the Second Augustan Legion for over 200 years as one of three permanent Roman legionary bases in Britain.
The museum displays numerous Roman artifacts, soldiers' equipment, and architectural elements that demonstrate the military and social practices of Roman Britain.
The site features modern covered buildings protecting the ancient structures, with designated pathways leading visitors through the different sections of the fortress.
The natatio swimming pool, which contained 80,000 gallons of water, remains the largest Roman military bath structure discovered in Britain.
