The Roman baths of Caldes de Malavella are one of the most important archaeological complexes of Roman Catalonia and constitute the best-preserved remains of the ancient settlement of Aquae Calidae. This is a Roman thermal site directly linked to the existence of the municipality’s hot springs, especially the fountain of Bullidors.
The complex preserves a large central pool with access steps, surrounded by a corridor and several rooms used for baths and treatments. A possible sacred room linked to worship has also been identified, as well as remains of annex structures that formed part of the thermal complex. The water circulation system and its hydraulic structures are considered among the most outstanding elements of the site.
The baths date from between the 1st century AD and the 4th–5th centuries AD, and are part of a Roman thermal settlement that directly used the natural waters of Caldes. The site is listed as a Cultural Asset of National Interest and has been preserved thanks to its historical reuse and modern excavations, which have allowed its recovery and enhancement.
