Baths of Diocletian
Monumental ConstructionDescription
Baths of Diocletian is a monumental construction in Italy, Europe.
The Baths of Diocletian formed an enormous late Roman public bathing complex. Later reuse, including the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli and museum spaces, preserves parts of the ancient vaulted architecture within the fabric of modern Rome. The imperial baths were built between 298 and 306 CE. Later churches and museum conversions reused portions of the ancient complex but belong to different architectural phases.
