History
Dating to the second century, the so-called "Barbara Baths" (Barbarathermen in German) are the largest Roman bath complex known north of the Alps. The bath complex was reused first as a Medieval castle and then as a seventeenth century Jesuit college. The ruins were designated as part of the "Roman Monuments, Cathedral of St. Peter and Church of Our Lady in Trier" UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986.
