Add a review of the Roman baths in Baden-Baden

The Roman baths in Baden-Baden (or, more precisely, what is left of them) is very easy to find - they are right in the center of the city, on the Market Square. Baden-Baden is considered thermal resort for almost two thousand years, and that the Romans brought to the region culture term

The town then was part of the Roman Empire, and the bulk of the inhabitants of the village were soldiers -.. Roman legionnaires . It is for them here at order of the Emperor Caracalla, and was built in the early 3rd century AD . . e first terms - for healing . Therm here then built two: imperial (very luxurious, for the authorities and the nobles) and soldiers (simpler, cheaper and more ) . The remnants of both were preserved, and they were found in the 19th century with n Construction works in the city center . Soldiers' baths were excavated, they were opened, turned into a museum, and they can be seen .

The therms still have very beautiful mosaics on the floors, some statues and much more. @

In both terms there were baths with cold and hot thermal water, two swimming pools and something like a steam room . Imperial therms were where the collegiate church of Baden-Baden stands now (they were found during the repair of the church foundation and were not opened because, that it was impossible without harm to the church building) . Soldiers' baths were located partly under the building of Friedrichsbad - the term of the 19th century, and partly behind it . Modern thermaes arranged on the site of the ancients because they need underground thermal springs, and they are here@ .@@

This is a small exposition, but here you can see the remains of baths and swimming pools, heating system, halls and stuff. Very beautiful mosaics on the floors, remains of statues have been preserved, and all this can be considered. In addition to the building, there is a small museum in which finds are made during excavations.

Soldier's terms are not very large, and you can not go inside - the exposition is looked through the glass wall.
