Barbara Baths

Barbara baths are around 15 min walk from Trier Centrum but I was disappointed because the ruins are protected site hence many site are covered. Pics for reference. If you happen to pass by this place then please do visit here otherwise you won't miss much.

Its a shame that the preservation of this site isn't receiving the funding it deserves. It needs proper protection in a museum building. In its current state its not very accessible.

W arrived at 2:30 pm and The gate was wide open and so we entered and before we got to the ticket office a young woman came out and abruptly told us we had to leave. She claimed it was closed although online it said they are open until six.

They where the second biggest baths in the whole Roman Empire after the one in Rome. Still a lot to discover. The entrance is free but the baths have an working time. Part of the UNESCO lost of the World cultural heritage

Amazing to see the genius building of a multi temperature bathouse only build a couple of years into our current time registration. It is free to visit.

Interesting site. Great descriptions in English with pictures so you can see what they are talking about and picture what it used to look like. Looks like they need more funding to do more excavating and they could probably find more artifacts.

One of the many sites built by the Romans that is still accessible though it has been used and abuse for the last 2,000 years. It is free to enter. The tour is self-paced along a steel frame walkway that splits through the site at a diagonal and includes signage in German and English and interactive signage for the kids. There’s no shade except at the abbey at the entrance but it is barely a city block to walk. It is wheelchair accessible. There is an active dig on the site you can watch this in progress. Walking to this site from the city center is about 1 kilometer but on level ground and tree-lined streets. The Roman Bridge and park along the river is directly nearby so it is worth the extra steps. Because is it outside the old city center, there are not as many tourists.

Once the second largest baths in the Empire, these are now mostly in ruins. It is a little difficult to visualise the splendour of these baths, before they were mostly destroyed and repurposed in the Middle Ages. The baths themselves cannot be entered, but you can go over a walkway which leads over the baths and which has informative posters showing what was once there.
