They were built by Emperor Caracalla and have the rectangular shape typical of Imperial spas. This complex was not only a place to bathe, play sports and take care of one's health, but also a place of study and rest. On both sides of the central body there are a series of environments that are part of the thermal station, the “Calidarium”, the “Tepidarium” and the “Frigidarium” or “Natatio”.
The Baths of Caracalla are considered one of the few cases where it has been possible to partially reconstruct the original decoration.
The written testimonies that have been found tell us about the enormous columns and marble pavements with oriental colors, glass and marble paste mosaics on the walls, painted stuccos and areas decorated with hundreds of statues and colossal groups, whether in the niches of the walls of the different environments more important than in the gardens.
For the water supply, a special branch called Aqua Antoniana was created, originating from the main aqueduct Acqua Marcia, the thermal baths were restored on several occasions and stopped functioning in 537 AD.
Currently in the Baths of Caracalla we can see other zones and areas that are around the two gymnasiums. Even though only brick walls and large collapsed vaults remain, the remains that centuries ago gave splendor to these Baths are still preserved.
Despite the passage of time and looting, the floor plan of the buildings and a good part of the walls that formed the enclosure are still preserved.
