Detail of the Bath Basin at the Xemxija Roman Baths

Close-up detail of the stone bath basin at the Xemxija Roman Baths in Malta.

This image provides a detailed view of the stone bath basin within the Xemxija Roman Baths near St. Paul’s Bay, Malta. The carved basin structure, integrated into the surrounding masonry, reflects the functional design of Roman bathing installations during the 1st–2nd century AD. Although only structural remnants survive, the visible contours suggest how water was contained and managed within the bathing chamber. The craftsmanship illustrates the practical engineering skills characteristic of Roman provincial architecture in Malta.
