Király Baths

Király Baths

Kiraly Bath or Kiraly fürdő is a thermal bath that was first built in the second half of the sixteenth century, during the time of the Turkish occupation of Hungary.

To date, it retains many of the key elements of a Turkish bath, exemplified by its Turkish dome and octagonal pool. It is located at the corner of Fõ utca and Ganz utca. Its address and entrance is Fõ utca 82-84 (green façade on the pictures linked to below) while the exterior of the bath proper is on Ganz utca (domed stone structure, ibidem).

The Kiraly Baths are open to both sexes but not at the same day.
