The value of Aquae Iasae is not simply that Romans bathed here. The site shows how water could organise an entire place: architecture, public life and ritual gathered around the spring. That makes it the natural opening chapter for any serious account of Croatia’s thermal culture.

For contemporary visitors, archaeology changes the meaning of the bath. The modern thermal town is no longer an isolated wellness product; it becomes the latest layer in a very long relationship between landscape and water.
