Baths of Massaciuccoli

The complex includes a lower section with preserved mosaics, a villa, and thermal baths overlooking Lake Massaciuccoli through suspended walkways and terraces.

The thermal complex, constructed in the first century AD, belonged to the Venulei family who provided bathing facilities for travelers passing through the region.

The site features distinct areas including a calidarium and frigidarium with marble flooring, demonstrating Roman bathing practices and engineering capabilities.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through the G. Lera pavilion, which serves as the reception area and research center for ongoing excavations.

The heating system beneath the calidarium remains visible, revealing tunnels and chambers where servants maintained fires to warm the water for bathing.
