The Roman baths of Allon, located in present-day Vila Joiosa, Spain, date back to the first century AD. They were built between 85 AD and the first decade of the 2nd century, providing irrefutable evidence of the location of the Roman municipium. These public institutional buildings are believed to have been constructed as a result of the promotion of the city to the status of municipium by Emperor Vespasian in 73/74 AD. The baths, which operated until the first half of the 4th century, cover an excavated area of 900 m².
