About
Between the years 1737 and 1739, while this building was known as the "Baia Comuna", it suffered major destruction during the conflict with the Ottoman Empire, being partially rebuilt between the years 1758 and 1760, getting the name "Baia cea Mare". Its current form dates back to 1846, when it was rebuilt.
Today, within the museum, we can find the pool once reserved for ladies, dedicated to Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, in a space that encourages harmony and relaxation. For the gentlemen, two special pools were dedicated in honor of Apollo, the god of truth and healing, as well as Hercules, the hero known for his immeasurable strength.
With 32 individual cabins, each named after royal personalities who chose to treat themselves here, it is important to mention that the Baths of Apollo are among the first baths built during the Roman expansion.
