Bath (Aqua Sullis)
The hot springs and the Roman bath house are a Celtic/Roman sacred place, dedicated to the Sullis and the goddess Minerva. In myth the sacred spring was discovered by King Bladud, who was cured of leprosy by the healing waters and mud.
Archaeologically there is no evidence for pre-Roman structures on the site, but the area may have been revered by the ancient Britons.
