Terme dell'Indirizzo, Roman thermal complex in central Catania, Italy

The Terme dell'Indirizzo contains ten preserved rooms, including a notable octagonal hall covered by a dome reaching nearly 10 meters in height.

The thermal complex dates from the late imperial period between the 3rd and 5th centuries CE, when it served as public baths near Catania's commercial port.

Prince Ignazio Paternò Castello conducted archaeological studies in the 18th century, discovering lead pipes within the walls and identifying the structure's thermal purpose.

The thermal complex includes separate areas for cold baths, warm rooms, and hot chambers, connected through limestone-framed doorways for fluid circulation between spaces.

The structure incorporates construction techniques combining cement work with lava stone blocks, similar to those found in Catania's ancient amphitheater.
