"The Gellert bath complex was built between 1912 and 1918 in the (Secession) Art Nouveau style. It was damaged during World War II but then rebuilt. References to healing waters in this location are found from as early as the 13th century. A hospital was located on this site during the Middle Ages. During the reign of the Ottoman Empire, baths were also built on this particular site. The "magical healing spring" was used by the Turkish during the 16th and 17th centuries.
"The bath was called Sárosfürdő ("muddy" bath) because the mineral mud settled at the bottom of pools. This is a recording from inside the large, ornate swimming pool room."
Recorded by Cities and Memory in Budapest, Hungary.
