Roman Baths

The Berytus, located in the center of Beirut's downtown, will not let you down if you're seeking what to visit in the city that will reveal its Roman heritage. The Roman Baths were built during the Roman era as places for bathing and relaxation. These baths, which included swimming pools, rooms with various temperatures, and reading rooms, were a typical amenity in cities where people congregated. The Roman baths are a must-see among all the best places to visit in Beirut. Going on a tour of the Roman Baths will transport you back in time and give you a glimpse of Roman culture and architecture, which is on par with modern architecture.

One of the best tourist attractions in Beirut is the magnificent place because of its antiquity. A complex system of lead or clay pipes and canals was utilized to transport water from the large baths to the numerous pools at the Roman Baths. There are four major baths in total. One of the baths is now used as a music venue, and the lovely site garden is decorated with a variety of medicinal plants.

The bather traveled between warm and hot tubs while passing through variously heated chambers. The heating system, which was under the floor, circulated air that had been warmed by wood fires in nearby vaults between pillars of terracotta disks that heated the marble floor and up through terracotta pipes in the walls. The hot room's marble-tiled pools were fueled by water from the boiler, and the bathers' access to cool water was provided by a sizable stone basin. After the bath, the body was massaged with healing oils. Jesters and musicians could play in the bathhouse's large, airy halls with their high vaulted ceilings.
