The magnificent Temple and Baths flourished in Aquae Sulis between
the first and fifth centuries. The Roman bathing establishment was built
around a natural hot spring and the remains are remarkably complete and among
the finest in Europe. The remains include coins, sculptures, jewellery and the
gilt bronze head of the godess Sulis Minerva.
Free personal audio guides in
eight languages are included in the tour.
To complete a visit you can taste the waters, enjoy coffee, lunch
or tea in the 18th century Pump Room above the Temple.
