The city is named after the famous Roman Baths. The Roman Baths are situated at the city centre. It's one of the ancient Roman sites in England. The bath area is below the current street level. The whole site comprises four compartments, namely the Sacred Springs, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the Museum.

We didn't have a closer look of the Roman Baths after we had been stunned by the ticket price (at least GBP 11.00). Alternatively, a video is played repeatedly at the entrance. It briefs the history, the features and the related knowledge about the Roman Baths. Watching this video is free of charge.

The Bath Abbey, just opposite the Roman Baths, has been standing there since the 7th century. It's another example of the Gothic Architecture. When looking from above, it is cruciform in plan. The current building was restored in the years 1948-1960.

There's a small plaza between the Roman Baths and the Bath Abbey. At times, you will find several buskers. We came across a man who was playing a special instrument which looked like a chinese wok. Tapping on the different part of that instrument would create different pitches. These pitches combined together and formed very soft and relaxing music.
