Terme di Sant'Agnese

This is a thermal bath complex that grew by accretion, a tangle of volumes and eras that now fills the block between Piazza delle Terme, Via Fiorentina, and Via Lungo Savio. The main facade is a study in layered ambition: five ground-floor doorways and four windows with stone jambs, topped by two further rows of windows. The corner is treated with a rusticated stone ashlar at ground level, first-floor windows with pediments, four pilasters in rusticated stone blocks with capitals, and a deep stone cornice; the side bays are simply plastered.

On Vicolo delle Terme, a stone rusticated plinth supports one entrance, four rectangular and two oval windows with wooden frames, then two more rows of windows above. This side ends in a lower, projecting plastered section, then a higher volume of exposed stone. An old square-plan tower rises above, roofed with four slate slopes. Roman baths were social hubs, but this fabric tells a story of centuries of pragmatic reinvention.
