In the vicinity of Baden-Baden found twelve springs of mineral water of different temperature and composition. In the beginning of our era, the Romans, the conquerors built their baths, or Thermae, to which they are accustomed at home. They built luxurious baths for the Emperor and generals, baths for ordinary soldiers and even baths for horses. Rapid construction was begun during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, later, in 213 to 217 years BC, the baths were substantially expanded during the reign of the Emperor Septimius Bassiana Caracalla). In the 3rd century, during the wars and invasions of the Roman baths were destroyed.

Roman baths were not just baths, but in fact, the cultural centre, where you can relax, socialize, and spent most of leisure time. We placed the ornate main building with pools, saunas and relaxation rooms, and broke around the Park with libraries, music rooms and Seating for athletic events.

The dilapidated remains of Roman baths were discovered accidentally during the construction of the Friedrichsbad. In 2003 on the site of the ruins was opened the Museum of ancient culture of the Roman baths. In the Museum you can see the walls, the age of about two thousand years, the remains of an ancient sewage, heating and water supply, which was located under the floor of the baths and pools supplied with hot and cold water.
