Staggeringly vast ruins of a 3rd-century imperial bathing complex that once served 8,000 Romans daily — the scale of the vaulted halls rivals any cathedral. Mosaics, underground Mithraic sanctuaries, and intact hypocaust heating systems make this far more layered than it first appears. Far fewer tourists than the Colosseum yet arguably more atmospheric; combine it with a walk up the Aventine Hill for a perfect half-day.
