Thermal baths and medieval necropolis of San Juan de Maliaño

San Juan de Maliaño is an archaeological site located in Camargo, Spain. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, spanning a temporal sequence from the Ancient Age to the Middle Ages. The site was designated a cultural heritage site in 2002 to help preserve its many historical and archaeological remains. To assist visitors, explanatory panels and a model are available. The site is partially covered to preserve the remains, and there is a passageway for observing the ruins from above.

The oldest part of the site dates back to Roman occupation, where a thermal complex and an atrium of a Roman villa have been documented. The thermal complex has a rectangular plant with two semi-circular apses, and the atrium of the Roman villa dates back to the first third of the 2nd century. Over the Roman settlement, medieval people used the site for religious purposes and burials. A Romanesque church (San Sebastián) from the 12th century stands on the archaeological site.
