In the basin where the Agnano race-course and the nearby thermal establishment are to be found today, there was once the Agnano lake, The Dog’s Cave and the “sudatario” (sauna) of St. Germano, as they are shown in the designs done at the end of the 15th century by Hoefnagel, and afterwards in the reproductions done by Blaeu and Mortier among many others.
