In August and September crowds of visitors were coming to the area and they were even setting up camps in the surrounding area, so as to be close to the springs.
Later on in the early 20th century the springs were utilized by the Italians. The initial premises were inaugurated in 1929 and remained in operation until 1967, being very popular and attracting visitors from all over the world.
The complex was designed by the architect Petrio Lombardy and the designs were considered among the best architectural compositions of that era.
