Baths of Titus

Located at the base of Oppio Hill, these thermal baths feature symmetrical chambers including frigidarium, tepidarium, and caldarium connected by a monumental staircase.

Emperor Titus commissioned these public baths in 81 AD, partially transforming sections of Nero's Domus Aurea into thermal facilities for Roman citizens.

The thermal complex introduced a standardized architectural design that influenced the construction of subsequent public bathing facilities throughout the Roman Empire.

The archaeological remains stand at coordinates 41.892556, 12.494053, with free access for visitors exploring the brick structures near the Colosseum.

Architect Andrea Palladio documented the complete floor plan of these baths during the 16th century, before their materials were repurposed for other constructions.
