The Baths of Caracalla (Thermae Caracallae or Thermae Antoninianae - in Italian Terme di Caracalla) were public baths inaugurated by the emperor Caracalla - after plans drawn up under the reign of the previous emperor Septimius Severus. The baths were built about 212-216 A.D. and were the second largest Roman baths (the biggest being Baths of Diocletian). The baths were in use up to the sixth century, when the Ostrogoths got there and destroyed parts of it. Like all public baths of the time it was not just for bathing but also included exercise grounds (gymnasium) and libraries (with texts both in Latin and Greek). Much of the original decorations have been removed over the centuries (for example sculptures and marble details and wall cladding - you should not thing the Romans were looking at brick walls when visiting this place), but some of the pieces can be viewed at other places and parts of the floor mosaics remain.
