These Early Byzantine Baths are situated in Nessebar. They were built during the rules of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I the Great (527-565). Until now the studied premises are 5 warm premises, a central call and a corridor. The other part of the terms is under the streets and houses in the area. The walls of these baths are built in the architectural style “opus mixtum”, which means stone and brick lines are alternated and then riveted with marble.
The most impressive is the central hall, where visitors can see four massive marble columns with Corinthian capitals, which support the cruciform dome. The floor is covered by marble pavement. In the Byzantine chronics, Teophan and patriarch Nikiphorus have marked that here, in 680 the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IV Pogonat cured his legs.
