Sciacca a little sicilian harbour on the sounth cost of island in the Agrigento provence. It reminds me a fairy tale.
Sciacca is known from his Thermae founded in the 5th century B.C. by the Greeks, as its name imports, as a thermal spa for Selinunte, whose citizens came there to bathe in the sulphurous springs of Mount San Calogero, which rises up behind the town.

In antiquity a town called Thermae (Greek: Θερμαί, hot springs) existed on the site. In 1847, an announcement in Italy asserting the therapeutic benefits of bathing in the natural thermal spas found in Loutraki caused an influx of settlers in the surrounding areas, thereby creating modern Loutraki. In 1928 Loutraki was completely destroyed by earthquake and rebuilt. A large park was created by reclaiming sea area using the rubble of the fallen houses. Another strong earthquake hit the area in 1981 with less destructive effects.
Archaeological Park Carnuntum - Austria
Carnuntum was a Roman army camp on the Danube in the Noricum province and after the 1st century the capital of the Pannonia Superior province, with 50,000 people. Its remains are situated in Lower Austria halfway between Vienna and Bratislava on the "Archaeological Park Carnuntum", extending over the area of 10 km² near today's villages Petronell-Carnuntum and Bad Deutsch-Altenburg.

Visitare le terme è tutt’oggi possibile: quelle di Bath sono infatti tra i complessi termali meglio conservati d’Europa. Qui ogni giorno sgorgano 1,5 milioni di litri d’acqua a 46° C e la tentazione di immergersi nelle sue vasche è forte ma non possibile: il Roman Baths è un vero e proprio museo e quindi vige la regola del “guardare ma non toccare”

anticamente era un monastero benedettino … nel secolo XVI venne poi ricostruita in stile gotico ; è oggi uno dei maggiori esempi di gotico perpendicolare della West Country ...
In settembre , nell’elegante città di Bath, le strade e i locali si riempiono di centinaia di cilindri, cuffiette, ombrellini da sole e guanti di pizzo , panciotti, abiti color pastello dal taglio impero ...
ad indossarli, sono i numerosi partecipanti al " Jane Austen Festival " ….

Not only Roman as in the city of Rome (which is the case) but also as in from ancient Rome. Well, the details with the painting and all that is more modern than that - but it is built in to the still standing walls of the Roman baths of Agrippa (dating to the early Imperial era) which have been built-in in more modern buildings in the area just south of the Pantheon.

Fasinating place often overlooked
The Thermae Antonianae, one of the largest and best preserved examples of an ancient spa complex,
was constructed under the auspices of the Emperor Caracalla in the southern part of the city.
The building was finished in 216 A.D. and exhibits the rectangular plan typical of Imperial spa centres.
The spa itself was not simply a place for bathing, sport and health, it was also a place of study and for relaxing.
Entrance to the heart of the building was by one of four porticos on the north-east face.
Around the centre of the structure the various parts of the spa are found in sequential order:
the "Calidarium", the "Tepidarium", the "Frigidarium" and the "Natatio".
There are also other zones and areas to be found around the two gymnasiums.
The spa of Caracalla is one of those rare ancient
I bagni termali di Bath sono stati riadattati nel tempo dopo essere caduti in disuso nel VI secolo … fu soltanto nel 1755 che vennero riaperti e riportati all'antico splendore naturalmente con delle modifiche.
Entrando nella struttura si resta sorpresi nel vedere elementi di epoca vittoriana convivere con elementi di epoca romana.
Originariamente all'interno delle terme erano presenti tre differenti vasche: una di acqua calda, una di acqua tiepida e una di acqua fredda. Lo spazio comprendeva anche delle stanze adibite al benessere e alla preparazione fisica.
Era un posto dove i romani andavano non solo per curare il proprio corpo ma per conversare e discutere della vita politica e sociale.
Attualmente è possibile vedere e non usufruire della enorme vasca che occupa il cortile centrale, circondata da un colonnato di epoca vittoriana …
le statue degli imperatori romani sono invece di epoca ottocentesca …
bisogna ricordare che le terme sono state riscoperte alla fine dell'ottocento dopo un lungo periodo di abbandono.

La ciutat anglesa de Bath té tant el nom com la raó de ser en la seva font d'aigues termals, venerada ja des d'època pre-romana. En època imperial es coneixia com Aquae Sulis.
La font sagrada, la sorgencia de les aigues calentes i altament mineralitzades, es coneix avui en dia com King's Bath, i és una barreja d'elements romans i medievals. El nivell d'aigua actual es manté tal i com era en època romana, mostrant la vora irregular de la sorgencia arranjat pels romans. Les estructures superiors, amb ninxols, son d'època medieval, quan la font, abandonada des de la caiguda del imperi, retornà al seu nivell "salvatge", més alt. Això ha quedat marcat en la concreció mineral ataronjada. En aquests ninxols es situaven els banyistes medievals, dins l'aigua força calenta i a prop del "precipici". Coses de l'edat mitjana.
====================
The English city of Bath has both its name and its raison d'être in its source of thermal waters, revered since pre-Roman times. In imperial times it was known as Aquae Sulis.
The holy spring, the source of the hot, highly mineralized waters, is known today as King's Bath, and is a mixture of Roman and medieval elements. The current water level remains as it was in Roman times, showing the irregular edge of the spring arranged by the Romans. The upper structures, with niches, are from the medieval period, when the source, abandoned since the fall of the Empire, returned to its "wild", higher level. This has been marked by the orange mineral concretion along the walls. In these niches stod the medieval bathers, in the rather hot water and close to the hell's scalding "precipice". Going fully medieval.
Bath , allegra città del South West England dichiarata Patrimonio dell’Unesco oltre 25 anni fa , ha origini antichissime …
la sua nascita e il suo sviluppo sono da sempre legate alle presenza di sorgenti termali calde sulfuree che scorrono sotto la città , le uniche della Gran Bretagna …
Le stesse terme create dai Romani sono ancora oggi ottimamente conservate e sono tra le maggiori attrazioni turistiche .
La città è anche rinomata per la sua splendida architettura georgiana …
gli edifici georgiani , in pietra color crema , arricchiscono la città di un panorama architettonico unico nel suo genere …

Proprio accanto all'Hotel Italia Terme di Acquasanta che ci ha ospitato c'è questa pozza di acqua termale alimentata da una fragorosa cascata nella quale un viavai continuo di persone si immerge per le sue proprietà terapeutiche (che non conosco).
Uno sgradevole odore di zolfo si spande tutto attorno.
In a city so filled with icons of antiquity and the Christian faith, it's hard to know where to go first.

Rome Termini is the main station in Rome, and the best station to use for the city centre. It's called Termini not because it's a terminus, but after the nearby Roman Baths of Diocletian, as the Latin for baths is Thermae. There's been a station here since 1863. The original station building was demolished in 1937, but World War 2 delayed reconstruction. The current station was designed in 1947 and inaugurated in December 1950, another fine example of Italian modernism.
The National Roman Museum (Museo Nazionale Romano) in Rome is spread over several places, two of them being very close to each other and Rome's big railway station. This is one of them: the Baths of Diocletian.
Now these baths, the largest imperial baths from Antiquity, were not left alone in the middle of a big city like Rome (though due to a shrinking number of inhabitants it took surprisingly long), and by1562 a Carthusian church was being built in the ruins: Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri. They had a monastery, a charterhouse, adjoining the church, and it was in the hands of the order until 1870.
This cloister, which is a part of the charterhouse, had its layout most likely designed by Michelangelo (who got the task from the pope), though he probably didn't do more than that. It still got named after him. Michelangelo was actually dead by the time construction began, in 1565 - and it took the rest of the century to finish the cloister.
The cloister is actually where the Museo Nazionale Romano began its life in 1889 - but as the collection grew, so did the need for more space and several more locals were added. Now this museum is mostly home to epigraphy and funeral and religious statues.
This was my first time visiting and I am quite sad that I hadn't done so earlier - but then again, it's always nice to discover a new gem in a city you know very well. You might not find the most famous pieces of Roman art here, but there are some really interesting ones and it's great to see some stuff you might be less familiar with. And the place itself is well worth your time and a visit - it's not the most crowded museum you will come across either.

The gymnasium at the Baths of Caracalla, Rome. They are also known as Thermae Caracallae or Thermae Antoninianae in Latin and in Italian Terme di Caracalla.
This complex was a public space inaugurated by the emperor Caracalla - after plans drawn up under the reign of the previous emperor Septimius Severus. The baths were built about 212-216 A.D. and were the second largest Roman baths (the biggest being Baths of Diocletian). The baths were in use up to the sixth century, when the Ostrogoths got there and destroyed it in parts.
Like all public baths of the time it was not just for bathing, but also included, like here, exercise grounds (gymnasium) and libraries (with texts both in Latin and Greek). Much of the original decorations have been removed over the centuries (for example sculptures and marble details and wall cladding - you should not thing the Romans were looking at brick walls when visiting this place), but some of the pieces can be viewed at other places and parts of the floor mosaics remain, though now leaning against the wall.

Aquest és un dels elements més espectaculars de les termes romanes de Bath i, ja posats, de tota la arqueologia britànica.
Es tracta del pas de sortida del aigua termal des de la sorgencia (actualment coneguda com King's Bath, a la fotografia anterior) vers la piscina principal dels banys romans. Aquest arc i brollador, construits fa uns 1900 anys, no han parat de veure passar aigua d'origen volcanic, i això es reflecteix en tota la mineralització ataronjada que el cobreix. La temperatura de l'aigua (46º) també es veu pel fum que en surt...
Tot plegat és força magic i evocador.
====================
This is one of the most spectacular features of the Roman baths at Bath and, indeed, of all British archaeology.
This is the exit overflow of the thermal water from the natural hot spring (now known as King's Bath, in the previous photograph) to the main pool of the Roman baths. This arch and drain, built about 1900 years ago, have not stopped seeing water of volcanic origin pass by, and this is reflected in all the orange mineralization that covers it. The temperature of the water (46º C) can also be seen by the smoke coming out of it...
Everything is quite magical and evocative.
When I explore SL, my main goal is to find sims with hot springs, pools or places where I can relax. Which kind of places are your favorites? I will read your recommendations ;)
