The domed facade of the municipal bath house rises behind an open lawn with a circular, empty fountain basin at its center. A trellised fence encloses part of the garden, and a single tree stands at the left. No people or vehicles are visible. The caption reads only Újvidék, Fürdő.
About this place
Iodine-rich mineral water was struck here in 1897 during drilling for drinking water near the Futog forest. A spa was built from 1908 and opened in 1910, its Secession-style main buildings designed by the Budapest architect Imre Francsek. The complex, which included the Park hotel and a bathhouse, was enlarged in 1931 and remained a well-known resort into the 1960s; its central pool closed in 1977. The buildings today house the Special Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases, the only specialised rheumatology institution in Vojvodina, and the whole ensemble is protected as a cultural-historical complex.
