Spa building

This building dates from the Augustan period. The building is made of ashlar, but the choice of its location made it necessary for more than half of the building to be carved directly into the stone.

Several parts of the building can be distinguished:

• A pool, carved from rock and surrounded by arches that separate it from the rest of the construction.
• A perimeter corridor that surrounds the building.
• A tripartite chevet composed of two rectangular rooms at the ends and a nymphaeum in the centre.
• The entrance as access to the building.
• An enclosing wall whose function was to protect the building from floods caused by torrential rains.
• A pond that served as a distributing reservoir.
