About

The forgotten Bagno della Polizia is hidden next to the road to Lazzaretto, completely obscured by trees and dense undergrowth.

The complex once included an Olympic-sized pool, some smaller pools for children and locker rooms. Once a place of fun for hundreds of people, these pools have been abandoned for over 20 years.
