Bath is a city in Somerset, England. It was made popular by the Romans when they found hot springs here and built baths on top of them. Today, Bath is known for its historical sites dating back to Roman times.

The Roman Baths

The Roman Baths in Bath, Somerset are a large Roman ruin that was once a place where people would go to wash themselves. The baths have been kept as close to how they were left at the time of the fall of the Roman Empire as possible. However, during this time, there wasn’t much regard for who or what stayed intact. There’s evidence of mosaics being burned to make room for people to walk and statues were melted down in order to make coins because copper was worth more than gold at the time. Bath is one of the very few Roman sites where you can see how the building looked before it fell into disrepair.

The Pump Room

The Pump Room is still standing and gives visitors a peek at how people would come together to socialize as well as taste the ‘pure’ waters. There are fountains on either side of the room with one for men and one for women where you could once taste the city’s spa water. The water became popular because it was thought tohave healing properties. There are also some Roman baths that you can look into to see how the mineral water would once come up from underneath the ground.
