"Adolph Sutro, the self-made millionaire who designed Sutro Heights and later the second Cliff House, developed the amazing Sutro Baths in 1894. With his special interest in natural history and marine studies, he constructed an ocean pool aquarium among the rocks north of the Cliff House. Sutro then expanded his ocean front complex by constructing a massive public bathhouse that covered three acres and boasted impressive engineering and artistic details."

In Herculane Resort, Romania
After the conquest of Dacia by the Romans, Hercules baths were built. Herculane Spa resort is one of the few Roman baths which has kept the original function until today.
During over 160 years of Roman dominion, Hercules baths became known throughout the empire.
The cult of Hercules was deeply rooted in the conscience of the Romans. He represented the perfect balance of physical strength and spiritual creative energy.
Later, during the Austrian occupation, the baths were used frequently by administrators and solders. Here is the women's bath, also called Venus Bath. Apollo Baths museum opened recently and needs more serious restoration.

This is a five image panorama of these famous Roman baths taken from about as far away a I could be and yet see the entire structure pretty much unobstructed. You can see there is a bit of curvature to the image. There are a half dozen or so visitors that give a scale to the structure. The baths were completed about 1800 years ago and were used for about 300 years and then fell into disuse when the invading Ostragoths destroyed the aqueduct. 200 years ago the first systematic excavations were made.
Spent a lovely day in the Roman Baths in Bath along with about 3 thousand other people so photo opportunities were zero if you want shots without people so I took this image - no people just a lovely image of the architecture reflected in the spa waters.
The Bondi Baths are located at the southern end of Bondi Beach and have been a land mark for over 100 years.

Art Deco Bon Accord Baths, Aberdeen - closed in 2008. My dad used to dive off the high board! This was taken just before a Sound Bath concert as part of this year’s Aberdeen Jazz Festival.
Just south of the Colosseum are the Baths of Caracalla, which were built in the 3rd century, and used for another 200 years.

The Baths of Caracalla (Italian: Terme di Caracalla) in Rome, Italy, were the city's second largest Roman public baths, or thermae, after the Baths of Diocletian. The baths were likely built between AD 212 (or 211) and 216/217, during the reigns of emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla. They were in operation until the 530s and then fell into disuse and ruin.
The bath complex covered approximately 25 hectares (62 acres). The complex is rectangular, measuring 337 m × 328 m. Its construction involved the moving of a substantial amount of earth, as parts of the nearby hills had to be removed or leveled into platforms. Several million bricks were used in the construction. The baths contained at least 252 columns, 16 of which had a height of over 12 m.  Water was carried to the baths by the then newly constructed Acqua Antoniniana, from the major Acqua Marcia. The exact path of the aqueduct supplying the baths is not known as only a few segments have been discovered. The aqueduct connected to the southern side of the baths where it filled 18 cisterns. These in turn were connected by lead pipes with the baths proper. [Wikipedia]
Another shot from the Baths, hopefully giving a scale and size of the site.

The Roman Baths in (yes ...) Bath with Bath Abbey in the background. The green colour of the water is special.
The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. There are four main features in this building: the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the Museum. The first shrine at the site of the hot springs was built by Celts and was dedicated to the goddess Sulis, whom the Romans identified with Minerva.
The water which bubbles up from the ground at Bath fell as rain on the nearby Mendip Hills. It percolates down through limestone aquifers to a depth of between 2,700 metres (8,900 ft) and 4,300 metres (14,100 ft) where geothermal energy raises the water temperature to between 64 °C (147.2 °F) and 96 °C (204.8 °F). Under pressure, the heated water rises to the surface along fissures and faults in the limestone.
Bath is a city in the ceremonial county of Somerset in South West England. The City of Bath was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987.

the remains of the old Sutro Baths, which must have been frickin' amazing when they were operational, out at Land's End...
The Middle Brighton Sea Baths, a place I have never been inside, is surrounded by these rather old wooden fences. Just topping the fence are these lovely white umbrellas. This is where having a drone would give one an advantage. The sea baths in this area have an interesting history, with more than one being built and one being destroyed. localhistory.kingston.vic.gov.au/articles/660 and vintagevictoria.net.au/middle-brighton-sea-baths/
