About the Baths of Diocletian
Why We Love It: Colossal halls, Michelangelo-designed cloisters, and fragrant orange trees—yet usually crowd-free. A blissful pause for any archaeological wanderer.

Roman Guides Insider Tip: Visit the “Natatio” (open-air pool) just before closing for golden-hour photos with almost nobody around.

Local Secret: The tiny café inside the cloister serves excellent biscotti al limone baked to a 16th-century monastic recipe.

Did You Know?
The complex could host over 3,000 bathers at once.
Parts of “Termini” rail station take their name from these ancient thermae.
