A unique ancient bathhouse dating back to antiquity was recently found hidden in the hills of Sicily.

The thermal complex, which is one of the largest ever found on the southern Italian island, was discovered by archaeologists from the University of Palermo, according to the Sicilian government.

In an Oct. 2 press release, Sicilian officials said that the structure was found at Halaesa, an archaeological site in northern Sicily.
