The remains of the Dom’e Cubas spa can be found on the eastern side of the village of San Salvatore. The building, known as Casa delle Botti in reference to the barrel vaults which up until a few centuries ago were probably more visible, is a spa building with several rooms.
The spa system extends lengthways, following the northwest-southeast direction, and follows the Roman tradition of positioning the warm rooms in the south-easterly part, to make the most of exposure to the sun’s rays. The building’s unusual trait is given by the circular shape of the tepidarium (a room for bathing in warm water) and the laconicum (room for dry sweating with hot air), as well as an octagonal hot room inside a square room.
As far as giving it a date, there are two construction stages. The oldest dates to the III century A.D. (200-250 A.D.) and is built in sandstone blocks arranged in rows. The more recent one, 300-350 A.D. (IV A.D.), was created with rows of alternating bricks of sandstone blocks.
