The Għajn Tuffieħa Roman Baths were discovered in 1929 during government works to cap a fresh water spring in the area.

This spring, or a similar one, might explain why the baths, which needed a constant flow of large amounts of water, were built in Għajn Tuffieħa, Mġarr, Malta.

It is possible that these rooms acted as a dormitory for people visiting the baths as they cannot be connected with any residential remains of the same period.

The corridors and latrine are, on the other hand, paved with ceramic lozenge-shaped tiles of a length of just fewer than ten centimeters.

In 1961, the mosaics underwent restoration sponsored by UNESCO and rooms were built to shelter and protect the remains.
