bansko, Municipality of Strumica
The late Roman thermal spa in the village of Bansko was discovered in 1978 during the excavations for the foundations of the Tsar Samoil Hotel.
in the first phase was build a conceptually simple bath, primarily considering the richness of thermal water from the nearby spring. Reduced only to the necessary items, the Bath consisted of only four rooms in the first phase: an apoditerium, a large pool and a two-part sweating room.
The original apoditerium, with a southeast-northwest orientation. Its west wall is the only preserved section, with everything else below the floor level of the premises from the second phase. The entrance was located on the north-western side and, now, it is located below the floor level, just underneath the south-western arch of the north-western wall, which is between the apoditerium and the frigidarium of the second phase. The apoditerium was vaulted by means of a semi-circular arch. Remains from the first section of the arch were observed on the south-western wall, as well as preserved bricks that were used to form the first section of a vault over its entrance. The apoditerium was connected to the other rooms by means of two entrances on the south-western wall. The sudatorium was accessed by means of the southern entryway, whereas the western gate was used to directly enter the central room with a pool.
The central room with a pool is the focal point around which, in the first and second phase, the entire complex of the bathroom was formed. The pool was accessed by means of two semi-circular stairs located in its southern and western corners. Along the entire length of the north-eastern side there is a staircase with three steps, while along each of the south-eastern and north-western sides, there is a seating bench for the bathers. Around the pool there is a walking track.
Undoubtedly, soon after building the Bath, the inefficiency of the apoditerium was brought to light. It was, therefore, almost completely demolished, with only its south-western wall saved. The two doors on the wall, used as entrances to the central room and the sudatorium, were covered by mortar. In its place were built two new, larger rooms, which met the new needs of the customers, both in terms of space and concept, in accordance with the period of their construction. The new apoditerium was built on the same area as the older one, but it covered a larger area.
In addition to these newly built premises, in the second phase of construction of the Bath were added other, smaller buildings that increased and supplemented its functionality. Another room with a tub for bathing was built for the needs of the sudatorium.
In the third phase, the focal point is, again, the room with a pool. The bottom of the pool is paved with bricks, while the side walls of the pool are covered with masonry mortar. In each of the south and west corners there is a half-circle staircase, and over the entire north-east side extends a staircase with four steps.
The baths of the Roman period, as a space for a man’s physical and spiritual relaxation, had to meet the standards for full enjoyment in the thermal water, utilizing its healing powers. It was designed in a way that its atmosphere was experienced by means of the arched pool rooms, decorated with sculptures on the walls, and the misty air of the steam of hot water, breathing it in the dusk of the day. The dimmed light from the lamps set high in the niches of the walls, created an incredible mystery of the space.
Although the Bath from the Roman period in the village of Bansko is not large, or luxurious, it is, nevertheless, unique in its preservation and manner of functioning, having the honour of being the only one of its kind in the Balkans and beyond.
