It was an ancient day leisure center, which included a library, a gym and gardens. Built between 212 and 217 AD, during the reigns of Emperor Septimius Severus and his son Caracalla, the free spa was capable of hosting more than 1500 Romans at a time. The Baths of Caracalla remained in use until the 6th century when the Gothic War destroyed the most part, but the remains are still outstanding and very well preserved.
