despite the presence of elements of muslim origin, this is a romansque building from the 12th century, inspired by the roman thermae or public baths. the frigidarium, or cold water room, is the most interesting, with its rustic ring vault and the dome resting on slender columns.

The Imperial Baths (Kaiserthermen) are a large Roman bath complex in the city of Trier. The facility was projected to become one of the grandest and most impressive baths in the Roman Empire. The construction started shortly before AD 300 and can be attributed to the emperor Constantius Chlorus (293-306), who moved his residence to Trier. In 316, work came to a sudden end and the baths were never finished. The emperors Gratian and Valentinian II used them as barracks for their life guards. The bath complex consists of two parts: the real baths (thermae) and the sports grounds located outside the enclosed buildings (palaestra). Today, the ruins of the bathing facility and the underground service tunnels can be visited.

Spring Hill Baths were designed by Thomas Kirk and built from 1886 to 1913 by William M Park. It is also known as Arthur Street City Baths and Municipal Baths at Spring Hill.
One of the principal reasons for establishing the Arthur Street (now Torrington Street) bath was its location above the Spring Hollow (Water Street) drain, installed in 1884, the waste water from the baths providing a daily cleanse. River water from Petrie Bight was pumped to a small reservoir at the top end of Albert Street, then gravity fed down Spring Hill to the Hollow, where it was stored in holding tanks (now boarded over) at the far end of the baths. Each evening the pool was drained and every morning the water was replenished in a process lasting several hours. This system of flushing the Spring Hill drain was employed for three-quarters of a century.
Not until 1914 did the city council install a salt-water supply scheme to which the baths were linked. As the Brisbane River grew more polluted, chemicals were added to the pool water, and finally a filtration system was installed in 1961.
The August 2009 Flickrmeet was to the old Edwardian Swimming Baths on Moseley Road.
The Friends of Moseley Roads Baths are trying to preserve and restore this historic building
The Baths of Caracalla were the second largest Roman public baths, after the Baths of Diocletian, although the Caracalla are in a better state of preservation than the Diocletian.
The baths were built around AD 212, during the reigns of emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla. They were in use until the 530s and then fell into ruin with the fall of the Roman Empire.
apparently this is an original feature of the baths.
it was all the rage to have mock tile clad fiberglass cows at the turn of the last century. this is one of only a few remaining and to be honest, it's looking a bit tatty nowadays.
