Lonely Planet review for Parco Archeologico di Baia

In Roman times, these 1st-century BC ruins were part of a sprawling palace and spa complex. Emperors would entertain themselves and their guests in a series of lavishly decorated thermal baths that descended to the sea. Among the surviving salubrious snippets are exquisite floor mosaics, a beautifully stuccoed balneum (bathroom), an outdoor theatre and the impressive Tempio di Mercurio, its domed swimming pool filled with giant goldfish. In the summer months, the outdoor theatre is sometimes used for opera performances by the Teatro San Carlo.
