In Ancient Rome, hostel for less wealthy travelers, close to the mansio of the roads and also tavern in the cities where drinks and meals were served to people and travelers of fewer resources. In some cases they degenerated into brothels. In Hispania the cauponas evolved into inns, sales and then in paradores. The Greeks called them pandokeia (because they welcome everyone).
