Terme di Como Romana (Roman Baths of Como)

The Terme di Como Romana, or the Roman Baths of Como, are a significant archaeological site that offers a glimpse into the ancient history of the city. Discovered in the late 20th century, these baths date back to the 1st century AD, during the Roman occupation of the area. The complex, originally part of a larger network of public baths, served as a social and recreational center for the Roman citizens of Novum Comum, as the city was known in Roman times. The site includes remnants of the various sections typical of Roman baths, such as the frigidarium (cold room), tepidarium (warm room), and caldarium (hot room), showcasing the advanced engineering and architectural skills of the Romans in heating and water management systems.
