The thermal baths at the Viehmarkt (also Viehmarktthermen) in Trier are a thermal bath complex of Roman origin, which was close to the forum of the Roman city - the Augusta Treverorum. The thermal baths got their name from the place where they were discovered, the so-called "cattle market".
The cattle market thermal baths and the remains of the buildings of a Capuchin monastery erected on their site are now protected by a building designed by the architect Oswald Mathias Ungers and are open to visitors and events.

The excavations of Roman thermal baths can be viewed in the 'glass box' on the cattle market, which is very dreary except during market times. I would rather recommend the walk to the Barbararthermen a little further south.

The Thermen am Viehmarkt are the ruins of a Roman bath complex in the center of Trier, a city in Germany. They were built between 80 and 100 AD, and were the oldest and largest baths in Trier. They were used mainly in the 3rd and 4th centuries, until the decline of the Roman Empire. The baths had different rooms for hot, warm, and cold bathing, as well as a dressing room and a sports area. The baths were also heated by an underground system of pipes and furnaces.
