Kaiserthermen (Imperial Baths)
Kaiserthermen (Imperial Baths) Review
This enormous 4th-century bathing palace once housed cold- and hot-water baths and a sports field. Although only the masonry of the Calderium (hot baths) and the vast basements remain, they are enough to give a fair idea of the original splendor and size of the complex. Originally 98 feet high, the walls you see today are just 62 feet high. During Brot & Spiele in early September there is a reconstructed Roman village on the sports field, with Roman arts-and-crafts workshops, and a sound-and-light show in the basements.
