View looking north at the excavated area of the Roman Thermal Spa at Sarıkaya.
On the left (west) side of the picture, the main thermal pool of the Roman Hot Bath in the Turkish city of Sarıkaya is visible. The pool measures 76 x 42 feet and is 4.5 feet deep. The pool was built in the second century AD and was used in the Byzantine, Selcuk, and Ottoman periods.
In the center of the image is the two-story display wall of the pool.
On the right (east) side of the image is the major area of excavation. There, water bubbles out of the ground into two collecting pools at a temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit.
