Historical Roman bath in Turkey to open to tourism
Published 23 Jun,2021 via Hürriyet Daily News - Work has started to open the Basilica Therma Roman Bath, known as the “King’s Daughter,” in the Sarıkaya district of the Central Anatolian province of Yozgat. The bath was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 2018.
It is believed that the daughter of the Roman king, who was living in Kayseri and had an incurable disease, recovered in these Roman Bath ruins and pools, which were unearthed during the excavations initiated by the Sarıkaya Municipality and the Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism in 2014.
After three years, cleaning and excavation work was initiated by the Yozgat Museum Directorate in the vicinity of the bath, which attracts attention with its architecture and healing water that has been flowing at 50 degrees for 2,000 years.
