The Baia Archaeological Park or Parco Archeologico delle Terme di Baia, is an ancient Roman archaeological site located in the Bay of Naples, near the modern town of Bacoli. This site was once home to luxurious Roman baths and spa complexes, built around the first century AD, which catered to the Roman elite.
The ruins of the thermal baths, including large swimming pools, caldaria (hot rooms), and hypocaust systems, reflect the grandeur of Roman engineering and their emphasis on leisure and wellness.
The park also features impressive mosaics, frescoes, and statues, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the time. The site is located along the coastline, providing visitors with scenic views of the Mediterranean, while its submerged ruins, visible during clear days, add to the historical intrigue.
