Narrow Stone Steps to the Xemxija Roman Baths

Ancient stone steps leading down from the cliff to the Roman Baths at Xemxija, Malta.

This image captures the narrow stone steps descending from the cliffside toward the Xemxija Roman Baths near St. Paul’s Bay, Malta. Carved directly into the natural rock, these steps provided access to the coastal bath complex during the Roman period in the 1st–2nd century AD. Their steep and confined structure reflects both the rugged landscape and the careful adaptation of Roman architecture to Malta’s shoreline terrain.
