GERMISARA Roman Thermal Baths (Geoagiu-Bai, Transylvania, Romania)

Please turn ON English subtitle!
The former Germisara Thermal Baths, probably unique in the world by its shape and construction, are now a particularly interesting historical site located on the western edge of Geoagiu-Bai Resort (Hunedoara County, Transylvania, Romania). The site appears as a travertine (sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate around mineral springs) rounded hillock with a diameter of about 95 m and with a circular cavern with a thermal lake on its bottom. Probably known by the Dacians, these waters were arranged and valorified by the Romans as long as the Roman Empire occupied part of Dacia (106-271 years). If at first the Romans were bath in the cavern lake, they later built a complex of canals and baths whose traces are obvious today. By their curative effect, perhaps miraculously, the Germisara Baths became very well known in the Roman Empire, this place becomes sacred and the lake becomes a place of worship, as evidenced by the offerings found on its bottom, dedicated to the healing and protective gods of the thermal waters: Diana, Higia and Nymphae. In 1987, during excavations to deepen the bottom of the lake to recover water, the workers found more than eight gold plaques, about 600 coins, a marble statue representing the goddess Diana, four altars and various other ancient objects. A text on a plaque, possibly belonging to a Romanized Dacian, supports the continuity of the Dacians during Roman rule. Also, during works made in the neighborhood in 1930, statues representing Esculap, god of medicine, and Hygiea, goddess of health and cleanliness, were unearthed. Nowadays this historic site can be visited freely, and we can to enter into the partially arranged cavern inside the travertine rounded hillock through the ancient Roman works.
