Barbara Baths
Barbarathermen
The remains of Trier's first large Roman bath complex, built in the 2nd century. Visitors can look down on the foundations and underfloor heating from an elevated steel walkway.
In Roman times, the Barbara Baths were among the largest bathhouses in the empire, second only to the Baths of Trajan in Rome. Later the site was used as a quarry, so only the foundations, underground heating channels and some wall footings remain. A steel viewing walkway above the ruins offers free views of the layout, with information panels. The baths are in the southwest of the Old Town, near the Roman Bridge, making them easy to visit on the way. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
