We stink of discovering the thermal baths during our vacation. And during heritage days. We were lucky to have a very good guide.

Guided tour of the thermal baths which takes us back to the Gallo-Roman era. It is easy to imagine life in these thermal baths and how it works. The remains are magnificent. Nice prelude before going to see the site of Jublains.

Nice guided tour. Very interesting and rich site. Many things remain to discover the current village being located on the Roman city.. A must see.

Very small museum but which present very large thermal baths. The area deserves to be much more excavated and must still contain beautiful things to discover! Guided tour on site which allows you to discover this little-known archaeological site.

Santa Maria in Trastevere

The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of the oldest churches of Rome. The basic floor plan and wall structure of the church date back to the 340s, and much of the structure to 1140-43. The first sanctuary was built in 221 and 227 by Pope Callixtus I and later completed by Pope Julius I.

The inscription on the episcopal throne states that this is the first church in Rome dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, although some claim that privilege belongs to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. A Christian house-church was founded here about 220 by Pope Saint Callixtus I (217-222) on the site of the Taberna meritoria, a refuge for retired soldiers. The area was made available for Christian use by Emperor Alexander Severus when he settled a dispute between the Christians and tavern-keepers.

The church underwent two restorations in the fifth and eighth centuries and in 1140-43 it was re-erected on its old foundations under Pope Innocent II.
