It was once the Forum Traiani, the most important Roman city in the island's hinterland, founded in the late Republic and becoming a marketplace between the inland communities and the Romanized population of the Gulf of Oristano under Emperor Trajan. Today Fordongianus is a small town of less than a thousand inhabitants in the Barigadu area, a renowned wellness center thanks to a thermal facility that uses saline and thermoactive water springs that flow at 56 degrees all year round and have beneficial effects on the body. A feature known to the Romans: the city is situated on the left bank of the fertile and lush valley of the Tirso, home to the warm and healing Aquae Ypsitanae, Roman baths from the 1st century AD, now an archaeological site. Two facilities can be visited, one retains a rectangular porticoed swimming pool, originally with a barrel vault, the other includes the changing room. The floor was in mosaic (you will see traces of it) and the ceiling in blue glass paste. The supply was ensured by a network of canals and a system of wells and cisterns. The importance of the thermal baths is confirmed by two statues of the god Bes, deity of health cults, and by a sacred space dedicated to the nymphs.
