Visit the Roman Baths of Maximinos (Braga)

Roman Baths of Maximinos, Braga were discovered in 1977 by archaeological excavations at the site that exposed the ruins of a public bath near the Forum of the ancient Roman city of Bracara Augusta.
In ancient Rome the public baths were vast buildings prepared to give the inhabitants or visitors of the city the possibility of taking their bath according to the rules prescribed by the medicine of the time. According to these, the bather should start by anointing the body with oils and doing some exercises of gymnastics, sport or wrestling. Then he entered a very heated room, the sweat-room, where he sweated profusely. He then went to the caldarium, a still warm room, where he could wash himself and remove the remains of oil. After a short walk through the tepidium, he plunged into the swimming pool of the frigidary, whose icy water invigorated his body, and was then massaged and anointed with aromatic oils.
These Roman Baths are classified as National Monument.
