Rudas Baths

The Rudas Baths at this site had been established during the Middle Ages, utilising the medicinal springs at the foot of the Gellért Hill. These were completely rebuilt during the Turkish occupation,

The octagonal pool of Rudas Baths, built during Musztafa Szokoli Pasha’s rule, is one this country’s most beautiful monuments of Turkish origin. The pool is covered by a dome, 10 meters in diameter, supported on 8 columns.

The steam-baths and the swimming pool date from the middle of the 20^th century. A day-care hospital, with an extensive physiotherapy section, operates within Rudas Baths.
