Terme di Caracalla (Baths of Caracalla) in Rome, Italy

Hello dear visitors

With today's post I want to complete the history but also the everyday life in ancient Rome, if so far I have presented the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the city under the city, the local cuisine and others, today I want to go together to one of the largest public baths, the Baths of Caracalla.

How do we get here?

Our option (being the cheapest) was to use the bus, having a bus stop very close to the hotel where we were staying, and the station where we got off being also quite close (the bus stop was called Terme Caracalla).

After a walk of a few minutes we reach a green area with many trees and from here it was simple just to follow the orientation signs.

At first glance I am extremely amazed at how the old buildings that were part of the Baths of Caracalla have been preserved.

For those who want to come here by car know that there is a huge parking place, probably during the summer or holidays here come a lot of tourists with coaches, we visited this place at the end of January and we did not meet so many tourists.

Another important information is the price of the entrance ticket, the entrance ticket costs 11euro/person and the visiting hours are between 9-16:30 (the schedule may change during the summer), this is a place that can be visited at any time of the year.

Let's explore the inside of this place which was apparently not only intended for public baths but also as a place where those who crossed its threshold could socialize.

First of all I give you a piece of advice, if you want to visit this place try to do it with a group with a guide or take a guide yourself, in this way you will understand much better what it is all about.

The complex is huge and, yes, there are plenty of information boards where you can find out important information on your own, but know that the explanations given by a guide in front of each room or place you visit are something else, you will certainly form a picture of what this place would have looked like thousands of years ago.

Let's take a closer look.

If you want to find out even more information than I have written here you can find it here.

Returning again to our visit and guided by those signposts that play an important role in exploring all the areas, the complex is so large that if you don't follow the tour route you run the risk of not seeing all the sites or passing a site twice.

Again I repeat myself, but I can't help but tell you how amazed I am to see that original mosaics or frescoes are still preserved here and looking at the photos showing a reconstruction of this place I am even more amazed, and yes, Rome is an outdoor history book.

In conclusion I can say that this place is very interesting with an amazing architecture and I invite you if you happen to pass through Rome to make a stop here, but do not forget to schedule at least two hours here.

THE END
