Once crowned by a Roman Temple dedicated to Apollo, its ornate roof was supported by Doric columns, creating a setting of unmatched grandeur in its glory days. Although the temple is now in ruins, the Antique Pool remains no less spectacular. Immerse yourself in the therapeutic waters, wading carefully around fallen columns and ancient Roman artifacts.
