Liria / Llíria: Mura Baths, mausoleums and Iberian Edeta

The photograph shows a wall of large ashlar blocks at the Roman Baths of Mura through a glass enclosure. Part of the square and nearby buildings is reflected across the stone; these are not archaeological structures. The frame records one protected sector rather than the complete baths.

Mura combined a sanctuary and baths

The site included an oracular sanctuary and two bathing buildings linked to water from the Sant Vicent springs. Its uses changed after the Roman period, and the space was occupied again in Byzantine and Visigothic times. A protective enclosure does not guarantee opening: the official listing notes rehabilitation works, so current access needs checking.

The mausoleums served a different Roman purpose

The Roman Mausoleums comprise two funerary buildings and an audiovisual interpretation area. They are not an extension of Mura’s pools, although both help explain the Roman town. Separating baths, sanctuary and funerary architecture avoids reducing centuries of history to one undifferentiated stop.

Edeta occupies Tossal de Sant Miquel

The Iberian city of Edeta developed on the hill from the sixth to the second century BC. Traces of streets, houses and defences explain a period before the Roman town. Its climb and arranged visits have different conditions from archaeological sites in the urban centre.

This documentary review identifies the wall and distinguishes Iberian, bathing and funerary heritage. It does not verify works, opening, arranged visits, projections, surfaces, glass, heat, gradients, railings, conservation or accessibility on site.
