Located in the town of Saintes, the thermal baths of Saint-Saloine are the remains of a Roman spa establishment created in the 1st century AD. Located in an outlying district of the town, like from the amphitheater, the remains classified as Historical Monuments still reveal to visitors sections of the walls of the old caldarium, stones from the Saint-Saloine church, a later building abandoned in the 16th century.
The site, which bears witness to the daily life of the inhabitants of Saintes under Antiquity, also unveiled during archaeological excavations many ancient and medieval sarcophagi, meaning that the place was subsequently transformed into a necropolis.
References:House of the Blackheads (Melngalvju nams) is a building situated in the old town of Riga. The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornaments.
The structure was bombed to a ruin by the Germans June 28, 1941 and the remains demolished by the Soviets in 1948. The current reconstruction was erected from 1995 to 1999. Today the House of Blackheads serves as a museum and sometimes concert hall.
