About Bath
For more than 2,000 years Bath's fame has been linked to its natural hot springs, whose waters are believed to be good for your health. It was the Romans who first developed the site when they built a complex of baths and a temple to the goddess, Sulis-Minerva. They called it Aquae Sulis the waters of Sulis in honour of the Celtic goddess already worshipped at the spring. This symbol is represented in the University of Bath logo.
In the 18th Century Bath became Britain’s leading spa town. Many of the city’s buildings date from this period and it is their glorious Georgian architecture, which gives Bath its distinctive appearance and historical feel. In the heart of the Georgian city, the remarkable Roman Baths can still be seen today and the big news for the future is that Bath is at long last going to have a spa again. With a quarter of a million gallons coming to the surface each day and an average water temperature of 47 degrees.
