Baths of Nero

The Baths of Nero display an octagonal interior design within square exterior walls, featuring brick construction and remaining sections of ancient Roman bathing facilities.

The thermal complex originated in the final decades of the first century AD during Emperor Domitian's reign, built using alternating layers of brick and tuff blocks.

The structure includes a laconicum for hot air baths, an apodyterium for changing clothes, and a tepidarium, following traditional Roman bathing customs.

The archaeological site stands near Porta a Lucca, preserving the only remaining Roman structure in Pisa with visible sections of the original thermal complex.

The water supply for these baths came from the Roman aqueduct of Caldaccoli, which remains partially visible near San Giuliano Terme.
