ITINERARY The caves of Pilato (also known as Baths of Pilato) belonged to a rich Roman Villa of which numerous remains from the first century are still visible from the Promontory: the complex is made up of 5 baths, 4 covered and one in the open air, admired for the perfection of its tecnique of digging and cutting the rock even beneath the sea level.
The biggest one has a barrel vault preceded by a vestibule open toward the sea.
The entire complex receives water directly from the sea and the waves, a system of communcating channels with bronze grids guaranteed the change of water and the transferring of the fish to the other baths/pools (in the past in them there was the breeding and reproduction of fish, especially eels).
