Roman Baths
About Roman Baths
Roman Baths of Hierapolis were grand public complexes built for both hygiene and social life, powered by the city’s natural thermal springs.
As well as exercise areas, sometimes even libraries were added into these public bathhouses, and most were typically divided into several rooms differing in temperature such as frigidarium, tepidarium, and caldarium.
Featuring large hot, warm, and cold pools, marble halls, and vaulted ceilings, they reflect Roman engineering and wellness culture.
Other than being a center of personal hygiene, the baths were a part of the social and cultural life of the community.
oday, their remains, especially the Bath-Basilica complex stand as a testament to how water, architecture, and society blended in ancient times.
