About
Hurtige fakta: Dampende mineralduft og det svage plask fra udendørs bassiner fylder luften, mens kupler og farverige mosaikker fanger sollyset og skaber en nærmest teatralsk atmosfære. Over 20 forskellige kilder i området leverer vand med varierede mineralprofiler, noget der forklarer hvorfor både balneologer og nysgerrige besøgende strømmer til for at mærke effekten.
Højdepunkter: Når du træder ind under de grønne og gyldne keramiske kupler mærker du straks tung, varm damp og en svag duft af svovl, der afslører kildernes varme dybt fra undergrunden. Lokale kommer stadig med tomme flasker for at fylde mineralvand ved offentlige haner, og bygningens mosaikker og marmorsøjler bærer tydelige skrammer og patina efter over 100 år, siden den åbnede i 1913.
Insider tips
- Do not expect active thermal pools, the building now houses a museum and exhibition spaces.
- Photograph the façade and domes from the small green square opposite the entrance for a full-view shot.
- Wear comfortable shoes, the stone steps and surrounding pavement can be uneven after rain.
- Check museum opening hours before visiting, weekend times and public holidays often differ.
