Aquae Sulis, Roman archaeological site in Bath, England
The complex includes a Roman temple and bathing facility built around natural hot springs that release mineral-rich water at 45 degrees Celsius.
Romans established Aquae Sulis around 60 AD after discovering sacred Celtic springs, creating a settlement that combined religious and bathing functions.
The site demonstrates the fusion of Celtic and Roman traditions through the worship of Sulis Minerva, with 130 curse tablets found in Latin and Brythonic.
The remains contain three main bathing sections: the caldarium for hot baths, tepidarium for warm baths, and frigidarium for cold water immersion.
The thermal waters complete a 10,000-year journey, starting as rainfall on the Mendip Hills before emerging through limestone fissures at the surface.
