Our Roman Baths
Where we leave (Termas de S. Vicente), we can find a Roman baths.
These Roman baths were built in the second century in order to take advantege of the medicinal and carbonated waters that flow there. Integrating a single building, these baths contained rooms like the apodyterium (dressing room), the frigidarium (cold room), the tepidarium and the caldarium (warm and hot rooms). These last ones were heated by the hypocaustum (an underground structure formed by pillars for air circulation and it was where the furnace was located).

Europe is once again facing an uncertain future in a changing world. The union of different peoples and countries has proven to be an important way to ensure a long period of peace. Today, Europe seeks a self-identity, no matter how varied it may seem, and in doing so Roman heritage is one of the foundations that first united peoples and cultures throughout Europe.
In this sense, Europeans can from this vast Roman heritage, learn not only their great achievements and accomplishments, but also understand some of their mistakes. In general, students tend to neglect or underestimate the power of history. So it becomes pertinent to get them to understand the importance of history and its heritage, which helps to understand the present and build the future.
Knowledge of history allows young people to relate concepts, facts, events that occurred at different times. When history is learned, the perspective of different countries and cultures can be rediscovered and that there is a way for a better understanding of a country's position at the international level, consolidating the certainty that the history of a country is a part of each one of us.
