Roman thermae of Albenga

The archaeological excavations reveal a complex structure with different chambers for cold, warm, and hot baths connected through underground heating systems.

The thermal complex, constructed during the 2nd century AD, exemplifies the engineering capabilities of Roman builders in creating public bathing facilities.

These public baths functioned as meeting points where Romans engaged in social activities, discussions, and physical exercise beyond regular bathing routines.

Modern visitors can examine the remains of mosaic floors, water channels, and heating systems that demonstrate Roman architectural and engineering methods.

The site contains evidence of multiple construction phases, showing how the thermal complex expanded to accommodate increasing numbers of users over time.
