The Roman Baths in Bath, Somerset, England preserve one of the finest examples of Roman thermae in Britain. A temple erected between 60 and 70 AD on the site catalyzed the development of the Roman settlement Aquae Sulis around the natural springs. The public bathing complex remained in use until Roman rule ended in the 5th century, after which the structures fell into ruin. Though the original Roman remains—the Sacred Spring, Roman Temple, and Roman Bath House—survive beneath, all visible street-level buildings date from the 19th century. Today the site functions as a museum, housing artifacts from the Roman settlement and attracting over one million visitors annually alongside the adjacent Grand Pump Room. The water remains inaccessible to visitors due to the presence of a dangerous pathogen.
