Király Baths

Király Bath or Király fürdő (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈkiraːj ˈfyrdøː]) was a thermal bath that was built in Hungary between 1566-1572, during the time of Ottoman rule.

[1] It was commissioned by Sokollu Mustafa Pasha who was the longest-serving governor general (1566-1578) of the Ottoman province of Budin and who built similar baths at Rudas, Rác and Veli bej which are also operational in Budapest.

The bath and its neighborhood then became part of the consolidated city of Budapest.

Components of thermal water included sodium, calcium, magnesium bicarbonate, sulphate-chloride and a significant amount of fluoride ion.

[3] The place is supposedly undergoing renovation and is remaining closed until works are completed.
