This is a great place to explore the architecture behind a Roman bath.
Not everything was finished, but you can guess it and see some water and repair passages, etc.

The Kaiserthermen were planned as an imperial gift of a bathing complex to the people of Trier. After a halt to construction in the 3rd century, construction work on the Imperial Baths resumed in the 4th century AD. It was now planned to be used as barracks, possibly for the Imperial Mounted Guard. In the later centuries, the imperial thermal baths were converted and used as a castle, city wall and monastery. Excavation work on the remains of the monument began in the 19th century. In 1984 some windows in the apse were reconstructed. To this day, the Kaiserthermen are part of the city center of Trier. The proximity to the palace auditorium shows once again the huge dimensions of the palace district at that time.

The Imperial Baths are remnants of a planned Roman bathing facility. The building, with its 19-meter-high walls, is one of the largest Roman spas north of the Alps and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1986. At present, part of the walls are scaffolded.
