Extremadamente impresionante, es una visita magnífica donde ves las enormes construcciones que se hicieron posible, te siente pequeño en comparación. Entrada de 8€ precio razonable. Recomiendo estar entre 30-45 min para verlo todo tranquilamente. Hay bastantes zonas con los mosaicos originales, lástima que no queden estatuas.
Impresionantes y sobrecogedoras. Las Termas de Caracalla son una visita imprescindible en Roma. La magnitud del lugar y su estado de conservación te dejan sin palabras. Pasear por ellas es viajar en el tiempo y sentir la grandeza del Imperio Romano. Un espacio tranquilo, lleno de historia y belleza, ideal para disfrutar sin prisas y hacer fotos espectaculares. Una pena que los Papás las hayan desvalijado para su intereses propios . Y del vaticano.
ruinas bastante bien conservadas no muy lejos de la zona central y mas turistica de Roma, fueron uno de los complejos termales más grandes y lujosos de la antigua Roma, construidos entre los años 212 y 217 d.C. bajo el emperador Caracalla, muy recomendable para dar una vuelta durante la mañana y salir del bullicio del centro, entrada barata.
