Terme Romane - Como

Roman baths were public buildings equipped with the systems we call sanitary today, and the many spas were a place for socializing, relaxing, and developing the activities of living for men and women who bathed at separate places and times. Within the Roman baths, the first thermal baths were born in places where it was possible to exploit natural springs for warm water or those with special therapeutic qualities. Over time, and especially in the imperial era, it also spread within cities, thanks to the ever-increasing development of water-heating technologies.
