More info
Every step brings a new perspective. You are at the Museum of the Baths of Diocletian, a place you’ll never get tired of discovering.
The Baths were completed at the start of the 4th century A.D. Here, 3,000 bathers could immerse themselves in the hot or cold water pools, work out in the gymnasiums, dive into the open-air pool or relax in the meeting rooms. Today, part of the baths is occupied by the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli. In 1889 the complex became a museum and various archaeological collections were housed here together with finds from the excavations taking place at the time.
VISITING THE BATHS
Since 1997 it has been one of the sites of the National Roman Museum together with Palazzo Altemps, Palazzo Massimo and Crypta Balbi.
The galleries are dedicated to the Protohistoric Section of the Latin populations and the development of the Lazio culture, and the Epigraphy Section where the Latin language is recounted through documents written on the most diverse of media. The Octagonal Aula hosts the sculptures found in the baths, while the Renaissance Olearie are used for exhibitions and meetings. In the multimedia room you will find a virtual reality installation with reconstructions of monuments on the ancient Via Flaminia, such as the Villa of Livia at Prima Porta.
The Museum of the Baths of Diocletian is a place where you can spend a few hours or a whole day. It will fascinate you.
