In the centre of the camp were baths (72 x 43 m.), built by the 21st legion. The entire building was excavated during several campaigns, ending in 1930. The building was decorated with mosaics and paintings.

In the second half of the first century a stone building (70 × 63.80 m) replaced a wooden predecessor. Around a courtyard (39 x 21.30 m.) were two concentrically arranged rows of rooms, separated by a corridor 4 m. wide. The entrance was probably on the west side. A small silver statuette of Mercurius was found.
