The Roman Imperial Baths in Trier, called Kaiserthermen locally, date back to the reign of Constantine in the 4th century AD. One of the largest Roman baths outside Rome, they are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Roman Monuments, Cathedral of St. Peter and Church of Our Lady in Trier, as 'a visible expression of the immensity of imperial power and the claim to world domination' of the Roman Empire.
The complex is laid out as a typical bath of the era – there is the thermae (baths) area, and a palaestra (gymnasium). The heated water from the boiler rooms flowed into 3 pools with heater floors (caldarium). The underground service passages lead to the frigidarium (cold baths).
