Las Bóvedas Roman Baths

Map

Baths were fundamental places for daily life in the Roman Empire, a symbol and indisputable factor of Roman imperialization.

Built in the 2nd century A.D., much of the structure of the building has withstood the test of time thanks to the solidity of the opus caementicium, a construction technique achieved by means of formworks of pebbles and a very high quality lime mortar. It is a two-story building with rooms are arranged around a central octagonal space.

In short, this is a complex and monumental building, both in its architectural conception and in its own functionality. Next to it is the Torre de las Bóvedas or Guadalmina, an example of a watchtower that was part of the coastal defensive system set up by the Christian monarchs after their conquest of this territory from the Moors.
