    by paradisedreamer
    Bath was founded in 75 AD by the Romans, the baths were dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva (Aquae Sulis). The original baths were lost when the Romans withdrew from Britain and were rediscovered during Queen Victoria's reign.
    They were created by The Romans in the first century AD, The Roman settlement of Aquae Sullis was created around the Baths, which were filled with water from local hot springs.

    The self-guided tour is really interesting and takes a good couple of hours to look round the whole museum. If you can visit on a sunny day, it's lovely to sit by the water for a while.

    Although the foundations of the Roman Baths were rediscovered in 1755, the pillars and porticoes we see today were created by the Victorians. The ancient-style busts of Roman emperors and statemen that line the upper promenade are less than 150 years old. Full details of the reconstruction are related in the audio tour that comes with the price of admission.

  • At the heart of Bath lie the stone remains of one of the finest religious spas in the ancient world. See the temple of Minerva, godness of the thermal spring. Visit the bath-house where people bathed nearly 2000 Years ago.

    How great to walk where Romans once walked on ancient stone pavement around the steaming pool!!!!

  • One of the best Roman ruins in Britain, the Roman Baths are really fun to see. It's rare enough to see such Roman remains this far from the mediterranean, and the fact that the springs still fill the baths is an added benefit. There is of course the Georgian and Victorian stuff added on, but one gets to see a fair amount of a Roman bath, hypocausts, etc.

  • The Baths have been lovingly restored and are a mixture of roman and victorian.
    The water sampling is fun..especially if somebody else is doing the tasting!!
    The tea room is victorian in idea and gives you time to soak up the atmosphere of the place

  • The Roman Baths is a great place to spend a couple of hours. The museum below ground level is very informative to both children and adults.
