On a private tour of the Baths of Caracalla, you'll explore one of Rome’s largest and best-preserved ancient spa complexes. As you move through the archaeological ruins, an expert guide will explain the baths’ history, how much water was used and the three bathing sections of different temperatures. Along the way you may picture what it was like in Roman times, when more than 3,000 people could use the public baths at once. You’ll admire the surviving 30-metre-high walls and the striking architectural elements, including domed octagons, porticoes and vaulted rooms.
The underground tunnels beneath the baths are now open, and you’ll descend to see the spaces where slaves would have filled the huge ovens that heated the complex. Although many sculptures and treasures have been removed, large fragments of mosaic remain in place and add to the sense of the site’s former splendour. The tour focuses on the physical layout, engineering and daily life of the baths, giving context to the impressive ruins you will see.
