The Roman Baths in Bath date back to nearly 2000 years ago when a Roman are a temple was constructed here around 60-70 AD. This led to a Roman settlement and public baths that remain in use until the 5th Century.
The Roman Baths were rediscovered in the 19th Century and a viewing terrace above and surrounding the great Baths was added before its opening to visitors (as a museum) in 1897.

The Trier Imperial Baths Complex was constructed in the early 4th century AD, during the reign of Constantine I. During that time, Trier was a major imperial hub, being a primary residence for Constantine's son Crispus. The baths were built around hot water pools reaching 40°C.

Baths of Lady Maria De Padilla in the Alcazar of Sevilla. Build in 1360.
In fact they are a series of rainwater tanks named after the mistress of Peter the Cruel.
They are located beneath the Patio del Crucero in the Alcázar of Seville.

Arrived here about 4am where a bunch of teenagers were swimming without any cloths on. It would have been about 4 degrees. In my thermals and gloves, I was freezing... They seem to be having fun so...
First time at this location. The pictures I've seen here are different to what it's like now. That grandstand(quite ugly really) that curves around the back of the pool and acts as a barrier wasn't in most of the pictures I've seen.
I had in mind coming here to take a low shot with my telephoto lens of the 1-6 lane markings out towards the ocean and sunrise but.. that stand prevented this.

Correction. I thought this was the Merewether Baths. To my big surprise there's 2 baths along this road in this area:p
Thanks to Archie, owner of a fantastic photostream (www.flickr.com/photos/madarchie0/) for sending me a polite, courteous, discrete ah hum email to let me know :) Appreciated it.

Lines lines and more lines. Had some trouble stitching this one. I spent too much time between shots due to a massive wave coming through and killing my reflection. It didn't want to match up trying to join it so I had to combine other shots into it till it was happy. The shots with the waves streaking across turned out quite well but it wasn't as good as the reflection come panoramic time... Then came the duty of straightening it all out. Almost gave up on this one.

Sea Baths in Sweden in a cloudy day. Baths with sauna and direct access to the sea bathing, no bathing suits are allowed. Not a place for shy people.

I wasn't the only person keen enough to get up before sunrise this morning - there were several people already doing laps at Merewether Baths, NSW; Australia by the time I had set up my camera gear!
I used a pretty high ISO here to shorten the exposure time in an attempt to get the guy about to enter the water reasonably sharp and somewhat in silhouette against the amazing colors of the sky - hope it looks OK to you!
Thanks for any comments, viewings or favorites - much appreciated!!
Hope you are having a terrific day and week!

Another wider shot of some great spring runoff at Diana's Baths.
Diana's Baths, in the town of Bartlett, New Hampshire, is a series of pools, cascades, and small waterfalls on Lucy Brook, about a three quarter mile hike up Moat Mountain Trail. The location is within the White Mountain National Forest.
There are stories, but no definitive answers, as to how Diana's Baths got its name. However while there a few years ago in late spring, I did see one rock formation that looked like a rectangular, solid stone bathtub, and assumed at the time that was how the name came about.
The photo was taken during snow-melt, so the water is significantly higher than most other times of the year. You can still see snow on the rocks on the left, and in the woods in the background.

My father Dick Clark took this photo, I am guessing it was the early 1960's. Can anyone comment on when the baths disappeared? I don't know how he got in, but I remember that he used to joke that if you were wearing a white shop jacket, hardhat and carrying a clipboard that you could go just about anywhere.
I'm an unpaid volunteer on the board of the Victoria Baths Trust which is a registered charity aiming to fully restore this wonderful Edwardian building to public use.
This is a photo I took looking down at one of the 3 magnificent swimming pools in the building.
Victoria Baths has been partially restored, thanks to £5m in total which has been raised from a number of sources, by far the biggest being a grant from Heritage Lottery Fund which came to Victoria Baths as a result of us winning BBC's Restoration programme in 2003.
The building operates as a heritage visitor attraction and events venue with around 30,000 visitors each year. But this is just the start of our restoration journey. Our vision is to fully restore the building, bringing public leisure facilties back into use, starting with the Turkish Baths.
Our long-term aim is to have public swimming at Victoria Baths. Today we can just do this on one-off occasions.
When it opened in 1906, Victoria Baths was described as "the most splendid municipal bathing institution in the country" and "a water palace of which every citizen of Manchester can be proud." Not only did the building provide spacious and extensive facilities for swimming, bathing and leisure, it was built of the highest quality materials with many period decorative features:- stained glass, terracotta, tiles and mosaic floors.

This, and other photos in this set, were taken at St. Fagans Historical museum and gardens in Wales. The remarkable place reconstructs old cottages and, in some cases, took the buildings stone by stone and rebuilt them in this area. This shot, and the one that preceeded it was taken in an old hardware store. On the walls are the tin Baths that people used before bathrooms were part of the standard family home.
This is a view down at the medieval Ottoman baths from one of Plovdiv, Bulgaria's seven hills. Behind it you see the domes of a beautiful Orthodox church.

This was taken on the same night as the previous image. The colour came out of no where and the sky just exploded with vibrant colour.
Brighton Baths.
The Roman Baths are well-preserved thermae in the city of Bath. A temple was constructed on the site between 60 and 70 AD in the first few decades of Roman Britain. Its presence led to the development of the small Roman urban settlement known as Aquae Sulis around the site. The Roman baths—designed for public bathing—were used until the end of Roman rule in Britain in the 5th century AD. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the original Roman baths were in ruins a century later. The area around the natural springs was redeveloped several times during the Early and Late Middle Ages.
The Roman Baths are preserved in four main features: the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House, and a museum which holds artefacts from Aquae Sulis. However, all buildings at street level date from the 19th century. It is a major tourist attraction in the UK, and together with the Grand Pump Room, receives more than 1.3 million visitors annually. Visitors can tour the baths and museum but cannot enter the water.

Along the shoreline on Virgin Gorda In the British Virgin Islands is a spot called The Baths. Although the islands were largely formed through volcanic action, The Baths are essentially a huge pile of large granite boulders, some as large as 40 feet (12m) long, piled on top of and around each other. Granite is formed far deeper in the earth, so their reaching the surface and being rounded and smoothed as much as they are is a result of a process that took place over geologic ages. You can walk through these boulders if you are a little agile, and where they are close to the water, a number of “baths” are formed. Here is one that particularly interested me. The color of the water in the Caribbean is remarkable anytime, but I especially enjoyed it here in the dark bath.
Newcastle Baths at sunrise. This was plan B this morning, the tide was far to high for the first location and only just high enough for this location. Great to get some nice colour this morning, its been a while for me!

Thank you everyone for your views, comments and faves. Much appreciated.
For decades the formerly beloved baths, which date from 1843, were a derelict blight on the seafront, a lost opportunity for a public facility. After a succession of failed proposals the renovation, designed by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council architects (with A2 Architects enabling) began in 2017-18. The original display indicated it would finish in 2019. (IT)
