History
“Having 1 km long by 250 m on average, this pool was built between 1877 and 1882 according to plans by the firm of Morris and British engineers Kinippe. The work was marked by the laying of the cornerstone by Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. This fact has often earned him the name “Princess Louise Basin” or “Basin Princess Louise.” ”
