Caldas de Monchique (Portugal): estado de la cuestión sobre un balneario romano en el suroeste de Lusitania

In this article, we propose a review of the different aspects stated in the bibliography about the Roman healing spa of Caldas de Monchique, systematically updating the main information available on this establishment. Our proposal is to provide an assessment of the current state of affairs of one of the most significant thermal spas in the south-west of Lusitania, taking into account new data about the Roman materials and structures identified in 40’s of the xxth century. This study will allow us not only to find out in more detail the main characteristics of this building, but also to further our data about the places where mineral-medicinal waters were exploited in the Roman Age using a more exhaustive and precise information.
