What a fascinating place! It almost looks like somewhere that the Roman buildings came to die, but with the help of my friend the history buff he brought the whole thing to light and I really enjoyed it. Thanks Sam!!

Dating back to 217AD, these baths and the bath complex are astonishing! The engineering that went into them is mind-blowing, I can't believe they were so ahead of their time. Just been watching Rome wasn't built in a day and the manpower they must have had is HUGE!

Via delle Terme di Caracalla, it's a bit of a trek but totally worth it

Totally iconic and absolutley amazing, the size, the atmosphere, I can't imagine how terrifying it would have been to fight in that arena with all the crowd looking down on you! The best roman place i've ever been to!
