The Roman Baths are a well-preserved Roman site in the city of Bath. The Baths were built in the first century AD and enjoyed a reputation as a fashionable spa town that continues to this day. The complex is built around the hot springs from which the city takes its name. The baths were used until the end of Roman rule in Britain in the early fifth century. Today, the Roman Baths are one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United Kingdom and a testament to the ingenuity and artistry of the ancient Romans.
