The licinian baths (arabic:حمام كارك) are a classified monument located in the city of Beja in the north-west of Tunisia. They represent one of the most important thermal establishments in Roman Africa.
History
The baths were donated to the city by the Licinii family in the 3rd century, during the reign of Caracella, between 212 and 217. They were primarily used as winter baths.
The baths got classified as a national monument by the national institute for heritage on the 16th of November 1928[1].
Architecture
The monument's walls are well preserved until today. Also the tunnel that the baths' slaves used to circulate through is still present in a good situation.
The frigidarium has triple arcades at both ends and large windows with views over the valley beyond.
