The neo-Palladian buildings and terraces that were built around the ancient Roman site and that are seen today were the design of two architects, a father and son both with the name John Wood. The original buildings were completed in time for the 1897 grand public reopening of the ancient baths. Modern architects honored the traditional Wood family design as over the years more buildings were added to the historic site.
