Bagni di Nerone

Nero's Baths and Excavations in Via Galluppi | Comune di Pisa - Turismo | Since the 13th century these ruins, known as "Bagni di Nerone" (Nero's Baths) have been associated with Nero, who traditionally had close relations with Pisa but it was not until 1548 that they were identified as spa baths.The building has now been dated to the final two decades of the 1st century BC and an inscription recording renovations, tells it was connected to the Venuleii family, important landowners in the the Pisan area between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The baths are in bad repair, the octagonal room being the best one to reach us.Close by, between Via Galluppi and Via Piave, the discovery of the remains of a building from the Imperial age, abandoned between the end of the II and the second half of the 3rd century AD, when this area became a necropolis,has added new information about the city in ancient times.
