Għajn Tuffieħa Roman Baths
The Għajn Tuffieħa Roman Baths were discovered in 1929 during government works to cap a fresh water spring in the area. This spring, or a similar one, might explain why the baths, which needed a constant flow of large amounts of water, were built in Għajn Tuffieħa, Mġarr, Malta.| Tap on a place to explore it |
