Thermes gallo-romains de Tours, Roman thermal baths in Tours, France
The archaeological remains of two separate thermal bath complexes, located in the eastern and southern areas of ancient Caesarodunum, reveal Roman engineering methods.
The thermal baths operated during the High Roman Empire until 400 CE, when the buildings were converted into residential spaces during the late Empire period.
These public bathing establishments served as central meeting points for the inhabitants of Caesarodunum, following Roman social and hygiene practices.
The eastern baths ruins remain buried underground while the southern baths are sealed beneath modern buildings at the Descartes High School location.
An underground aqueduct system, powered by a water wheel drawing from the Loire River, supplied fresh water to these monumental thermal complexes.
