The Roman Baths in Bath, England, is a well-preserved ancient Roman public bathing complex. Located in the city of Bath, the baths are a major tourist attraction and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The baths were built around 70 AD and are fed by natural hot springs.
The Roman Baths are well-preserved thermae in the city of Bath, Somerset, England. A temple was constructed on the site between 60 and 70 AD in the first few decades of Roman Britain. Its presence led to the development of the small Roman urban settlement known as Aquae Sulis around the site. The Roman baths—designed for public bathing—were used until the end of Roman rule in Britain in the 5th century AD. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the original Roman baths were in ruins a century later. The area around the natural springs was redeveloped several times during the Early and Late Middle Ages.
