- In its heyday, the swimming region was surrounded by high walls and large columns of ornamental statues.
- While entering the pool area, you get to see two large entrances which are carefully curated off grey and red granite columns surmounted by a marble lintel.
Ballet and Opera Performances
- During summers, the baths team up with Teatro dell’opera and use the area to create a special performance for the public.
