The Baths of Caracalla

A short guide that allows to visit as best as you can the baths of Caracalla.
English edition.

The Baths of Caracalla are one of the largest and best preserved thermal complexes of antiquity. Because of their remarkable height, exceeding 30 meters in many parts, the extensive remains of the Baths (or thermae) provide a glimpse of the magnificence of the thermal complex, second in size only to the Baths of Diocletian dated almost a century later. We can only imagine its splendor looking at the dimension of the structure and the monumentality of its rooms. Two upper stories and two underground levels of the complex still stand.
