Introduction
These baths are the oldest public baths in the Iberian Peninsula, dating back to the 2nd century BC. They preserve three original rooms and are characterized by a very careful design. Access from the street first leads to the apoditerium (changing room), then to the tepidarium, a warm space equipped with a labrum (water basin) for cooling off, and to the caldarium, a hot space with a central bench and another labrum. To the north, near the furnace, is the alveus (bathtub). Later, a laconicum (sauna) and a porticoed room were added to the south. Modifications to the access were also made, including a new main door and service doors in the southwest quadrant of the complex.
