Terme di Caracalla

  Dating back to AD 216, Terme di Caracalla in Rome served as a grand public bath complex, showcasing the engineering prowess of the ancient Romans. This expansive site covers approximately 13 acres and was designed to accommodate up to 1,600 bathers at a time. Visitors can explore well-preserved ruins of the baths, including intricate mosaics and towering brick walls, which hint at its former opulence. Situated near the Palatine Hill, the complex is particularly beautiful to visit in the spring months of April and May when blooming flowers add color to the grounds. Today, guests can walk through history and imagine the social gatherings that once took place in this incredible space.
