Overview
The Baths of Nero, known in Italian as Bagni di Nerone, are located near the Porta a Lucca in Pisa. Despite the name, the baths were constructed in the final decades of the 1st century AD, after Nero's reign, during the time of Emperor Domitian. The name is believed to be linked to the legend of San Torpé, a Pisan martyr.These baths were part of a larger complex where the Roman population of Colonia Pisana gathered daily for hygienic and social purposes. Water was supplied by the Caldaccoli aqueduct. The best-preserved section is the laconicum, a hot room with an octagonal interior and a partially restored dome-shaped roof. Remains of the gymnasium, apodyterium (changing room), and tepidarium walls are also visible.The site has undergone several restorations, including those in the 16th and 17th centuries by Cosimo III, excavations in 1881, and a full restoration in 1947. Today, the Baths of Nero stand as Pisa's only preserved Roman monument, offering a glimpse into the city's ancient past.
