Thermal baths (visited 08/2009)

[Andy]

Another oldie. Visited seven years ago, during my ninth trip to Romania (now I have traveled this country eleven times, and in a few weeks I will go there again).​

Indeed, it was an accidentally find. Originally I drove to that village for another location, and then I saw this one, too.  ​

 ​

The photos were taken without a tripod (annoyingly I didn't have one there) and with higher ISO in the evening, so I'm sorry for the bad quality.​

Furthermore, the first two pictures were taken through a window pane (the seemingly open window rear right still had a grid in 2009. Therefore, this ornate room was not accessible at that time).​

 ​

The place was already known for its mineral-medicinal springs in the Roman Empire.​

The sulfur thermal bath was built in the style of Austrian Baroque in the 19th century and was expanded after the Second World War.​

I don't know exactly when it was closed.​

Recently I saw actual photos. Unfortunately, today the building is in a considerably worse condition. And as far as I know there are no plans for renovation.​
