Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

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.

Summary from Język polski / Polish Wikipedia (plwiki)

Rzymskie łaźnie w Għajn Tuffieħa zostały odkryte w roku 1929 podczas rządowych prac, mających na celu zabezpieczenie źródła świeżej wody na tym terenie. To właśnie źródło, lub jemu podobne, może być wyjaśnieniem, dlaczego łaźnie, potrzebujące stałego przepływu dużej ilości wody, zostały zbudowane w Għajn Tuffieħa.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

Les Thermes de Għajn Tuffieħa sont un site archéologique de l'époque romaine, situé sur la commune de L-Imġarr à Malte. Il s’agissait d'un système thermal de petite taille (balneum), daté de la fin du Ier siècle ou du début du IIe siècle ap. J.C., et dans lequel ont été mises au jour de belles mosaïques.
