The Roman Baths

The Roman Baths are located in the center of Bath, opposite Bath Abbey. They are a tourist attraction in Bath and the origin of the English name Bath. This well-preserved Roman Baths is a place that Bath tourists are eager to see. Being in it is like witnessing the life of the Roman era with your own eyes. Among them, the holy spring, Roman temple, Roman bath and Roman bath relics are famous. #Architectural Features# The Victorian reception hall at the entrance is very gorgeous, and the arched ceiling is carved with beautiful scenery of the four seasons. In addition to buying tickets here, don't forget to get a free voice guide (including Chinese service). However, there is no large luggage storage service here, so if necessary, you can store your large luggage elsewhere before browsing. The bathhouse is divided into two floors. The bathing pool on the lower floor is connected to the underground hot spring. The pool is green and clear, and warm spring water is still gushing out. It is hard to imagine that it has remained in this state for more than 10,000 years. The upper and lower floors of the baths are supported by 12 columns, each with a different statue of Roman gods, because the Romans believed that the hot springs, which were like holy water, came from the protection of the gods. After entering from the reception hall, you can come to the terrace, from which you can overlook the large baths, surrounded by Victorian statues from the reign of Roman monarchs, dating back to 1894. Don't stop here for a while and overlook the overall style of the large baths. #Holy Spring#The Holy Spring is located in the core of the Roman Baths. The temperature of the natural spring water remains at 46 degrees Celsius all year round and has a history of thousands of years. The spring water gushes out from the ground day and night, and the overflow flows into the original Roman sewer. The bath museum has a glass floor. You can clearly see the water pipeline of the bath through the glass floor under your feet. There are also many treasures collected in the pipeline, among which the carved gems and tin masks are worth seeing. #大浴場# The Roman Baths are the most important attraction for most people. The baths are huge and made of 45 lead plates. The water is 1.6 meters deep, which is very suitable for bathing. There are steps around to facilitate the entry and exit of guests at that time. The spring water in the pool is abundant and the water surface is steaming. A huge stone slab is placed horizontally where the hot spring water flows out. This is where people who came to bathe at that time jumped into the water for entertainment. Every day from 10:00 to 17:00 and in the evenings of July and August every year, the staff will dress in ancient Roman costumes, giving visitors a sense of traveling back to the distant ancient Roman era. There are East and West bathrooms on both sides of the large bath, and they are also equipped with bathing suites and high-temperature baths. If you want to know more about the relevant history, you can move to the Roman Baths Museum, which not only collects two composite models of the temple and the baths, but also exhibits comedy films related to ancient Rome.
