Baths of Caracalla

Baths of Caracalla were built in the 3rd Century AD by the Emperor Caracalla, and they operated for about two hundred years, before the invasions and the subsequent interruption in the water supply. The sheer scale of the Baths of Caracalla is awe-inspiring, with towering walls and sprawling courtyards that speak to the opulence of imperial Rome. Along with the ruins of the baths, the site houses the remains of a temple dedicated to the Roman god Mithras. In the temple you'll find benches used for the mystic meals taken by the followers. Today, the site also serves as a concert venue.
