Roman Baths – Bath

Coming in at number two in the collection, Roman Baths - Bath is one of the most beautiful historical sites in United Kingdom.

The world-famous Roman Baths complex in Bath, UK, houses an extraordinary collection of thermal springs as well as a spectacular old Roman bathing house. The Roman Baths, unearthed in the nineteenth century, are one of the best preserved ancient Roman ruins in the UK and remain a significant tourist destination.

The Roman Baths were originally constructed as part of the town of Aqua Sulis, which was established in 44 AD. The baths, which were vast and sumptuous, could accommodate considerably more people than simply the population of this town and were designed to be a destination for Romans from all over the Empire. Spa's baths, like other modern bath complexes, were a focal point for the town: a place for socializing and spirituality.

It's no surprise that the Romans selected Bath to create such wonderful baths. Hot springs from the Mendip Hills come to the Roman Baths at a temperature of 46 degrees Celsius and increase owing to immense pressure.

The Celts consecrated these springs to the Godess Sulis before the Romans discovered them. The Romans associated Sulis with their own divinity, Minerva, and retained the old name by naming the town Aqua Sulis - Sulis' waters.
