Highlights
Explore the magnificent complex of the Baths of Caracalla and discover its great past, rich decorations and fascinating mysteries! These incredible thermal baths take their name from the “mad emperor”, Caracalla (fratricidal and heartless), who inaugurated them in 216 AD, and is among the most impressive ever built in the Roman Empire. You will walk among the colossal remains of the gyms, the magnificent swimming pools and the “calidarium”, a large round room with “floor heating”, thanks to the steam that, coming from underground furnaces, flows between the pillars below the floor. Be enchanted by the marvelous decorations in white marble and the sumptuous mosaic floors depicting dolphins and sea monsters! Discover amazing traces of the daily life of ancient Rome, such as the “chessboard” engraved on the edge of the enormous “natatio” (swimming pool) to be able to play while immersed in the cool waters of the pool.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
