The peculiarity of Baden-Baden's history is vividly reflected in its sights. There are prehistoric sites (the area is inhabited since the Mesolithic period), and Roman ruins (the Romans founded the city in the 1st century AD), and Celtic temples (Celts here also lived at one time), medieval monasteries, and knight castles. But most of the sights are connected with the most famous page of its history, namely, with the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Romans used the city as a healing camp for legionaries and built several thermal baths - they found that there are many thermal springs .

Kurortnikov had to be treated - so appeared Friedrichsbad, Lichtentaler alley and Trinkhalle, as well as entertain - so appeared the famous casino .

Term in general there were two - but only one of them can be seen. There are wonderful mosaic floors and something else, but the museum is small - most of the term was under other buildings and is not visible. The second ancient building is the collegiate church: its first building was built in the 10th century. It was rebuilt several times, and for a long time it served as the burial vault of the local rulers - Margrafens of Baden.

There are several interesting places connected with the Margraves of Baden. . The most important is Hohenbaden Castle, built as the residence of the Margrave court in the early 12th century .
