With our transfer service we will take you to the wonderful Baths of Caracalla
Getting to the Baths of Caracalla has never been so easy after your initial journey to Rome. The Baths of Caracalla, or Thermae Antoninianae as they were officially called, were built on the slopes of the Piccolo Aventino hill. Emperor Caracalla inaugurated construction in 212 A.D.; however, his two successors Elagabalus and Alexander Severus completed the construction of the outer fence and the two exedras.
Today the Baths of Caracalla are used as the extraordinary setting for outdoor performances, recalling the great popularity the complex enjoyed in ancient times. After your trip from your arrival location to Rome, ask your chauffeur to take you to the Baths of Caracalla, for a guided tour during the day or to attend a theater performance when evening comes.

The baths had a large central building surrounded by gardens, which were animated by spectacular water jets. The complex also contained gyms, libraries, and local shops.
Once inside, ancient Romans accessed to the apodyterium, namely the lockeroom, where they left their clothes. After pouring oils and ointments over their body, Romans used to perform gymnastic activities, either in the gym or in outdoor gardens. After the exercises, the ritual of real bath began, and it followed a precise sequence. Our chauffeur service takes you from anywhere in or around Rome to discover the Baths of Caracalla, the temple of relaxation during Roman Empire.
At first, the bather passed through gradually heated rooms to increase perspiration reached during training. Then next room the caldarium, which had a large circular hot water bath. The body absorbed moisture from the water and the steam, providing a deep and relaxing bath. The ritual continued by moving to the tepidarium, where tanks with warm water allowed the bather to slowly become accustomed to the lower temperature, until the bather finally reached the frigidarium. Here the bather cooled down and invigorated the body by immersing himself in four basins of cold water.
