Roman Baths of Campo Valdés
Beneath the square, next to San Pedro church, a 1st-century AD public bath with its hypocaust (underfloor heating). The best place to begin Gijón's Roman story.

The Roman wall
Remains of the defensive wall that protected the Cimavilla isthmus. A stretch of bastions and foundations you can walk around, a step from the baths.

Campa Torres
On Cape Torres, an archaeological park over an Astur and Roman settlement, with a lighthouse and stunning views of the Cantabrian Sea and the port. The route's grand finale.

Roman Villa of Veranes
On the outskirts, a lavish Roman country villa with mosaics and an interpretation centre. It closes the circle, showing rural life almost two millennia ago.

Roman Gijón: 2,000 years of history
Before cider and beaches, Gijón was a Roman outpost on the Cantabrian route. A circuit through its traces —from the baths at the foot of Cimavilla to the great settlement of Campa Torres. Not a stroll but a city-wide route (some stops need a car or bus). Tap each point.
Frequently asked questions
Can the whole route be done on foot?
The first three stops (baths, wall and Cimavilla) are together and walkable. Campa Torres and Villa de Veranes are on the outskirts: you'll need a car or bus. That's why it's a circuit rather than a stroll.
Is there an entrance fee at the baths and Veranes?
The Campo Valdés Baths, Campa Torres and Villa de Veranes are part of the municipal archaeological museums network, with a low fee and free-entry days. Check hours and prices before you go, as they vary by season.
