Abstract
The roman baths at Sant Boi de Llobregat were built sometime around the year 200 BC and came to light in 1953. They are some of the best baths of this type to be found preserved in Catalonia. Some of the walls are almost five meters high, which is rare. There were originally seven rooms, and interesting remains of six of them can still be seen today. The baths were virtually abandoned in 1975, but restoration began in 1988, including the construction of a building to protect them and to enable the public to visit them. The design of the presentation trusts entirely to the emotion felt on seeing these ruins at first hand, and other elements, such as audio-visual effects or virtual reality, have been rejected.

Summary
The roman baths at Sant Boi de Llobregat were built some time around the year 200 BC and came to light in 1953. They are some of the best baths of this type to be found preserved in Catalonia. La ciudad de Sant Boi de Llobregat, situada en la vertiente superior del actual delta del río Llobregat, dista unos 13 km de la capital de Cataluña, Barcelona. Doscientos años más tarde, el lugar pertenecía al territorio adyacente a la ciudad de Barcino (primer núcleo de Barcelona) y fue ocupado por una villa romana -cuyos restos han sido descubiertos en diversos lugares del centro histórico-, formada por la residencia del propietario y su familia, las dependencias agricolas y las tierras de cultivo. Fue hacia esa fecha cuando se construyó el edificio termal
