The Caracalla thermal baths have a rich history dating back to the Roman Empire. In the 2nd century, the Romans discovered the curative virtues of Baden-Baden's thermal springs and built a complex of public baths for locals and visitors alike.

In 1985, the Caracalla Spa was opened, inspired by the Roman architectural style and offering modern facilities for visitors.

The Baths of Caracalla are generally considered to be a place of relaxation and tranquillity for adults. However, children are also welcome under certain conditions.
