I'm very pleased to congratulate the winner Marianne Klint
Marianne has given the right answer ....
4. A bathhouse for unprivileged/homeless people
Balneario - from Latin balneum ("bath"), from Greek balaneion
These early structures were municipally funded public cleaning stations, where the city's poorest people could go to relax and luxuriate not for leisure but for hygiene's sake. The bathhouse you see pictured above is still in use today.
Marianne, please accept the symbolic prize below, an Italian made seat. I presume, you have enough space to place it in your garden...
~~ Thanks all of you who took part in the FUN ~~
~~ Have a nice day ~~
I'm so gad to see you start these again, Belita.
