Baths of Caracalla
Monumental ConstructionDescription
Baths of Caracalla is a monumental construction in Italy, Europe.
The Baths of Caracalla are the monumental remains of a Roman imperial bathing complex. Massive masonry walls and vault springings reveal the organisation of heated rooms, exercise spaces and public amenities supported by extensive water and heating infrastructure. The baths were probably constructed between 211 or 212 and 216 or 217 CE. The range retains the source's uncertainty rather than presenting one disputed completion year as certain.
