Founded25 B.C.

The Baths of Agrippa (Latin: Thermae Agrippae) was a structure of ancient Rome, Italy, built by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. It was the first of the great thermae constructed in the city, and also the first public bath.

The remains were incorporated into more modern buildings including the massive 25 m diameter wall that was part of the hall. Old plans drawn by Peruzzi and Palladio record the remains from the period when much was still intact.
