The Baths of Caracalla in Rome were the second largest Roman public baths in the city. The baths were probably built between 212 (or 211) and 216/217 AD, during the reigns of the emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla. They remained in operation until 530 and then fell into disuse and ruin. Both during and after their operation as a baths, they served as inspiration for many other notable buildings, ancient and modern, such as the Baths of Diocletian, the Basilica of Maxentius, the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City, the Chicago Union Station, and the Senate of Canada Building. Works recovered from the ruins include famous sculptures such as the Farnese Bull and the Farnese Hercules. Today the Baths of Caracalla are a tourist attraction.
