Small Group: Caracalla Roman baths
Get introduced to the lives of everyday Romans by following their footsteps through this ancient building and learn about the complex sewage systems they invented and implemented on their structures.
In Rome, the Baths of Caracalla stand as one of the most extraordinary examples of Roman architecture and ingenuity. These vast thermal complexes were not only places for bathing and body care, but also centers of social life, sport, and learning. Men and women of every social class gathered here—at different times and in separate spaces—to relax, meet friends, and enjoy the luxuries of imperial Rome.
Join us on an unforgettable guided tour of the Caracalla Baths, and step into the daily life of ancient Romans. Follow their footsteps through the caldarium (hot baths), tepidarium (warm room), frigidarium (cold baths), and the grand natatio, a swimming pool once lined with granite columns and statues. Discover the two ancient gymnasiums, the apodyteria (changing rooms) decorated with exquisite mosaics, and the libraries, where Romans once studied and reflected among marble colonnades.
As you explore, your expert guide will reveal the ingenious engineering systems that made these baths function—underground tunnels, heating chambers, and water channels operated by hundreds of skilled workers. You’ll even visit the Mithraeum, one of Rome’s best-preserved underground temples dedicated to the god Mithras.
Walking through the ruins, you’ll feel the vibrant atmosphere of a “city within the city,” alive with discussion, laughter, and the scent of oils and perfumes.
Don’t miss the chance to experience the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, a journey through history that continues to amaze visitors with its beauty, innovation, and timeless spirit.
