Suddenly you\u2019re in the excavation site of the Roman Baths in Como.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is odd. You walk through Como and stumble upon a Roman excavation site. The only pointer was a little sign on a multi-storey car park that said: \u201cTerme die Como Romana<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n It was planned to build an underground car park in this spot in the 70s. As the work began, the first part of the thermal bath had been discovered and a formal excavation effort was launched. The walls of what is thought to be eight different rooms that cover about 1500 m\u00b2 were found during the excavation work. The remains stem from the second half of the first century.
In 2006 another excavation took place. The remains of another 10 rooms were uncovered. Those date back to the second century after Christ. The rooms are arranged around a central courtyard and all differ in shape and size. It is not fully clear what these rooms were originally used for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
