This is a Public Hygiene and Social Facility. It provides hot and cold mineral baths, steam rooms, and professional massage services. It serves a wide range of clients, from laborers seeking to wash off the soot of the Slums to wealthy merchants looking for a private place to discuss business in their towels. The Public Bathhouse is a two-story stone structure that emits a constant plume of white steam from several copper chimneys. The building is a heavy, windowless block with thick walls designed to retain heat. The exterior is decorated with simple, carved stone reliefs of water lilies and reeds.
