Albulae Aquae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albulae Aquae ("The White Water") is a group of springs located 6 km West of Tivoli.
The springs' water is bluish, strongly impregnated with sulphur and carbonate of lime, and rises at a temperature of about 24°C. Remains of a Roman thermal establishment exist near the principal spring, the so-called Lago della Regina (which is continually diminishing in size owing to the deposit left by the water),and dedicatory inscriptions in honour of the waters have been found.
