Trier - Imperial Baths

(Local Name: Kaiserthermen) South of the Trier Electoral Palace are the ruins of the Roman Imperial Baths (Kaiserthermen; fourth C.; converted into a fortified castle in medieval times; extensive complex of underground rooms and passages), one of the largest bathing establishments of Roman Imperial times. From here the Südallee leads west to the Barbarathermen (second C.). The nearby Römerbrücke over the Mosel still rests on Roman foundations.
