About Stabian Baths

The Stabian Baths are an ancient Roman bathing complex in Pompeii, Italy. They were the oldest and the largest of the five public baths in the city and centrally located at the intersection of two main streets. Their original construction dates to c. 125 BC, making them one of the oldest bathing complexes known from the ancient world.

They were remodelled and enlarged many times up to the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Excavations in 2021 and 2023 have revised the layout of several phases of the baths and discovered two previously unknown laconica (saunas or sweat baths) under the palaestra courtyard.
