The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the city of Bath, United Kingdom. It is a well-preserved Roman site for public bathing. The facility itself is below the modern street level and has four main features: the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House, and the museum holding finds from Roman Bath. The waters from the springs run into the Great Bath, where the Romans once bathed, which is a massive pool lined with 45 sheets of lead and filled with hot spa water. It was constructed around 70 AD as a grand bathing and socialising complex. Visitors today can explore the ancient chambers and corridors, visualize the past grandeur through an interactive museum experience, and walk on the original Roman pavements. It is said that the temple was dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva, a deity synonymous with wisdom and healing. This historic site combines Roman and Celtic influences and offers a glimpse into the religious and social practices of that time.
