The Baths of Diocletian

Begun in 299AD, 8 years to complete, largest of all baths of it's type, could hold 3000 people.
Now, it holds many statues and sarcophagus. It's really a beautiful place and it was completely empty.
It's right across the street from Termini Station.
It was made into a Carthusian Monastery in the 16th Century.




Caracalla as a child.
