Its name, corresponding to that of Bath in England indicates the source to which it is indebted for its prosperity. Its mineral waters were known to the Romans, and were named by them Aurelia Aquensis, in honour of the emperor Aurelius Alexander Severus. The city was for a period of six hundred years the capital of the Margraves of Baden. The number of inhabitants is four thousand six hundred, but during the summer season, from the influx of visitors, it amounts to nearly twenty thousand. The castle contains several subterranean vaults, which, according to tradition, were used by the secret tribunals of the middle ages, (the Fehm,) and were most probably originally constructed by the Romans. The Museum contains remains of Roman antiquities, that have been found here. In the collegiate or parish-church are the tombs of the Margraves of Baden, since the year 1431. The House of Conversation for the guests was originally a Jesuit cloister. Baden contains twenty-six mineral springs, of which the principal called Ursprung, or origin, has a temperature of from 96° to 121° Fahrenheit, and in twenty-four hours emits 7,345,440 cubic inches of water. The rock from which it issues is still partly faced with Carrara marble of the time of the Romans. The environs present an extraordinary variety of manifold and picturesque views.
