The illustration transports us back to medieval times, offering a glimpse into the Frankish Empire and its emphasis on hygiene and cleanliness. The image is filled with fascinating details, from the bustling activity of swimmers enjoying their time in these magnificent waters to the impressive structure itself. It serves as a testament to Charlemagne's vision and his commitment to providing luxurious amenities for his subjects.
