The "Baia Baths" extend across the entire slope of the Baia hill and are organized on a series of terraces, each of which is occupied by residences conceived as independent architectural organisms, connected to each other by stepped ramps. The first of these residences is known as the "Villa dell'Ambulatio" and includes rooms, with different uses, overlooking six terraces.
The entire complex had marble and black and white mosaic floors. The central part of the baths complex is occupied by a nucleus called the "Sosandra" which is divided into four terraces and is characterized by the presence of stucco and refined mosaic floors. From the largest of the rooms that make up this complex comes the marble statue of Aspasia also known as Aphrodite Sosandra (a Roman copy of an original Greek statue).
Other thermal buildings complete the complex, including the one known as the "Temple of Mercury" characterized by a circular thermal pool with a domed vault, not fully known because it is partially buried and submerged, in which the marble head of Apollo was found (copy of a Greek bronze original).
Open every day except Monday from 9.00 until one hour before sunset.
The cost of the ticket is € 8.
