| description | A recent archaeological excavation of the Castle of the town of Novo Brdo has
discovered residential buildings from the second quarter of the 14th century
as well as the remains of a subsequently built bath, dated to the end of the
14th or beginning of the 15th century. Built on a small area, the bath
consisted of a single bathing chamber above a hypocaust, a water reservoir
and a furnace. Since there were no natural springs or groundwater wells, it
was supplied with water from cisterns. The bathing chamber, originally
domed, was not furnished with a masonry water basin. It was heated by an
under floor hypocaust system and by steam conveyed by pipes from are servoir
of boiling water. The only known analogies for this small structure,
presently the only such discovered in medieval Serbia and its neighborhood,
are bathing chambers in residential complexes in the region of Amalfi,
southern Italy. |
