The Baths of Diocletian are the largest public baths ever built by the Romans. "This luxurious and enormous facility served 10,000 people daily for 250 years.
Built of concrete and millions of bricks, the Baths of Diocletian was decorated lavishly with marble walls and floors, hundreds of columns, frescoes, mosaics, statues, and large upper windows that filled the interior with sunlight.
The size of these baths, including the surrounding outside gardens, walls, and other structures, measured 13 hectares (32 acres). The actual main baths building itself was an incredible 4.5 hectares (11 acres) in size. One can only marvel at the labour, resources, expertise, artistry, and planning required to build such a massive complex in only eight years (298 - 306 AD)." atouchofrome.com/baths-of-diocletian-explained.html

Envision Theatre company put on a sublime set of songs from their favourite musicals. Proceeds from the event went to the fantastic charity Music and the Deaf and the whole performance was signed and actaully performed in the deep end of the 1st class male swimming pool. Victoria Baths played host to a great night where guests were encouraged to bring blankets and hot water bottles as the baths are not heated, all that glass and those tiles keeps the place pretty cold in November, I'm pretty sure I felt that it was warmer outside!
