Next Sunday (September 26) the baths of Trajan, a massive bathing and leisure complex in Rome, will celebrate its 1900th birthday.
For the occasion, after eleven years, the famous Sette Sale or Seven Rooms,will be open to public for a whole afternoon.
We are of course talking about the amazing cistern which used to hold over 9 million cubic metres of water; a prodigious amount of water which was discharged for the pleasure of the Romans.
The huge cistern, located on the edge of Collo Oppio Park, is made up of nine rooms; each room measures 5,3 metres x 29,3 metres (some of these rooms sometimes even reaches 39,75 metres in length)
