Termas Romanas de Bande is an important Roman thermal complex in Bande, Ourense province, Galicia, where the remains of a 1st-century CE Roman bath built to exploit a naturally sulphurous hot spring have been preserved and partially restored as an archaeological monument. The Roman baths were among the most sophisticated thermal installations of Roman Hispania, reflecting the empire's systematic approach to utilising natural geothermal resources for public bathing and communal life. The site offers visitors a compelling encounter with the ancient Roman civilisation that established the foundation of Spain's thermal bathing heritage.
Insider tip — The Roman Baths of Bande in Ourense province, Galicia, stand as one of the best-preserved examples of Roman thermal architecture in the Iberian northwest. The remains sit beside the As Conchas reservoir, and the original caldarium, tepidarium and frigidarium structures are still identifiable. Sulfurous spring water continues to flow in the vicinity, and the site was strategically placed on an ancient Roman road linking Bracara Augusta to Asturica Augusta.
