The changing rooms form part of a remarkably well-preserved public bath complex located in one of the most important provincial capital's of the Roman Empire.
The huge and well-preserved bathhouse was onlyin the city of Mérida—capital of the Extremadura region in the western-central part of the Iberian Peninsula.
The well-preserved remains of the old city include a large bridge over the Guadiana River, an amphitheater, a theater, a vast circus and an"exceptional" water-supply system, according to UNESCO. Now, within these baths archaeologists have found a criss-crossed set of iron bars that are"practically intact", the consortium said in a statement.
