There are above a hundred publick _Bagnio’s_, both for Men and Women,
which are very spacious.
There are also about the same Number of _Caravansera’s_; the most
eminent of which are adorn’d with Fountains, which are constantly
supply’d with Water from the Fields adjoining the _Suburbs_, and which
also supply the whole City.
