Miletus Faustina Baths October 2015 3380.jpg

view map

One of some more pictures of the Baths of Faustina situated at the north of the theatre hill near the homonymous port and the stadium of the city. The complex is well preserved, therefore its particular spaces can be discerned.

The main characteristic of the baths’ architectural design is the asymmetrical arrangement of the chambers due to the peculiar circumstances and the limitations dictated by the building area. The baths’ plan was adjusted to the morphology of a terrain of an inaccessible area, where once was a river bed. The edifice was not included in the Hippodameian town planning.

For this and more information, check a fine site.
