This is a photo from our lovely evening visit to the Baths of Diocletian museum, which represents the largest public bath complex of ancient Rome. This is a photo of one of the courtyards, but the museum was expansive and truly showcased the grandeur the baths.
The Baths of Diocletian are the largest public baths ever built by the Romans. "This luxurious and enormous facility served 10,000 people daily for 250 years.
Built of concrete and millions of bricks, the Baths of Diocletian was decorated lavishly with marble walls and floors, hundreds of columns, frescoes, mosaics, statues, and large upper windows that filled the interior with sunlight.
The size of these baths, including the surrounding outside gardens, walls, and other structures, measured 13 hectares (32 acres). The actual main baths building itself was an incredible 4.5 hectares (11 acres) in size. One can only marvel at the labour, resources, expertise, artistry, and planning required to build such a massive complex in only eight years (298 - 306 AD)." atouchofrome.com/baths-of-diocletian-explained.html
The Roman Bath, Bath, Somerset, England, United Kingdom.
The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. The house is a well-preserved Roman site for public bathing. 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 temple was constructed in 60–70 AD and the bathing complex was gradually built up over the next 300 years. During the Roman occupation of Britain, and possibly on the instructions of Emperor Claudia.
Caldarium - a room with a hot plunge bath, used in a Roman bath complex. The floor has been removed to reveal the empty spaces through which the hot air would flow to heat the floor.

The east baths have been significantly remodelled since the last time I visited. It used to be a large, open area underground, inviting you to explore the ruins along the floor. Now, they've hung false walls from the ceiling to give a sense of how the rooms would have looked.
I can remember the beautiful tiles in the entrance. The turn styles throught which you entered. To the left were baths. I assume now thta the workers could go to wash after a day down mine or coal working on harbour. The cahnging rooms were little boxes like you see on the seaside and the watching balcony was above. Spent most of my Childhood swimming in here. Recently been a night club and soon to be demolished!
In the hot baths section of Calder Street Baths. One area for men and another for ladies. Ceiling paintwork peeling off.
Just south of the Pantheon, you'll find this fun scene. This is part of the Baths of Agrippa from the late first-century BC; they were damaged in the same early second-century earthquake as the Pantheon. This photo is pure Rome -- people have built houses right into/out of the ruins!

Mud baths heated by the volcano - splendid. And one's skin feels as soft as a very soft thing afterwards. Just watch out for those hot bubbles. And the smell.
