Baths of Caracalla
The Baths of Caracalla are a large Imperial Roman public bath complex in Rome, built under Septimius Severus and Caracalla and inaugurated circa AD 216. The complex contained bathing halls, gymnasia (palaestrae), libraries, and extensive service and waterworks. It remained in use into late antiquity and today survives as a large archaeological ruin and tourist site.

As it stood in AD 216
The shape it held in its prime.
A vast rectangular brick-built complex with towering masonry walls, broad axial plan and a high central block covered by large vaults and domes. Exterior surfaces are predominantly warm red bricks; interiors were faced with pale marbles, porphyry columns and patterned mosaic floors. Rooflines in prime would be intact with large groin vaults and a domed caldarium, while broad open palaestrae and an outdoor natatio occupy the site’s northeast axis.
