Roman Baths

A remarkable Roman ruin featuring original mosaics, right in the heart of Lugo’s historic centre.
The Roman Bath is one of the most intriguing archaeological remains in the historic centre of Lugo. Discovered during building works in Plaza de Santa María, today it offers a glimpse into the city’s Roman past. Built in the 4th century, this small pool retains part of its original mosaic decoration, featuring geometric patterns and a striking snake forming a circle. Its details reveal the artistic influence of the Roman world and make this a unique stop for history lovers. Although its exact function is still a matter of debate, it is believed that it may have formed part of private thermal baths or a small bathing complex.
