Sandanski, Bulgaria

It was built before the Liberation over old foundations. It is very likely that it was a public bath in the past.  It consists of two sections - hot and cold. Water is heated in a huge vessel built in the eastern wall. The bathroom has worked on the principle of communicating vessels. The floor, made of marble slabs, was artificially raised to half meter stone pillars and in the wall were built special drainage pipes, to carry off the smoke from the fireplace under the floor to heat the room (hypocaust). There are no remains of the locker room and other facilities.
