Roman public baths museum
In 1982-1983, during the works of regularization of the tracing
of the C/San Juan and San Pedro, there were found the remains
of a great swimming pool belonging to a few Roman thermal baths
of public character. The set was extended in 1990 by the discovery
of a few lavatories of a previous phase. The public thermal baths
were located in Zaragoza's center, in the existing space between
the Forum and the Theatre. Of the various rooms with the following
facilities - wardrobes, warm, moderate(tepid) and cold rooms,
gymnasium, etc . - only remain a few lavatories with capacity
for more than 20 persons (still used at the end of the 1st century
B.C.) that were knocked down to construct on them, in the middle
of the 1st century A.D., a great outdoor swimming pool .
The Central Market
The Central Market is in the same place than the city market since
the 13th century. The building of the Central Market, inaugurated
in 1903, was not conceived as an isolated construction, but forming
part of an urban development plan destined to transform the environment
of the square.But But it was only done partially. Félix Navarro
projects a construction of two floors (basement and market), being
the superior floor basílical of three rooms, being the central
one widest and tallest than the other two.
In 1986 the building is restored and the sales points are renewed.
Thanks to this , the market continues supporting the same activity
for the one that was created at the beginning of century and preserves
the animation, the color .
