Description
Conjunto Arqueológico Los Baños de La Reina is a fascinating archaeological complex dating from the 1st to the 2nd century AD in Calpe.
Discover the remains of a Roman settlement with a church, necropolis and residential buildings. The most intriguing features are the pools carved into the rocks, which were used for both fish farming and observing marine life.
Legend has it that the complex was built as a spa for a Moorish queen - hence the name 'Queen's Baths'. Preserved mosaics and a system of thermae with cold, hot and warm baths testify to the advanced engineering of the ancient Romans.

Chris Gledhilla year agoThese are the remains of Roman baths. Now they are rectangular walled areas with tunnels and channels leading to the sea. They fill up at high tide and are a great place to do some snorkel as there are usually lots of fish about. The water gets very warm here being enclosed. The rocks are slippery so take care. If approaching from the sea there’s a cool rock arch tunnel you can swim through. There are steps down from the promenade too.
Ewa Kwiatkowskaa year agoNice place but nothing really special :)
Georgia Laytona year agoStunning location. Perfect for snorkelling. Calm and protected from the tide and full of fish. Delightfully warm. Amazing spot.Related categories
