Kuršumlijska Banja (Serbian Cyrillic: Куршумлијска Бања) is a spa town located in the municipality of Kuršumlija, in south Serbia.

[3] Known for its springs already in Roman times, it was declared a royal spa in 1922, becoming one of the most visited and most developed spas in Serbia during Interbellum.

There are remains of the walls, bricks, silver coins of the emperor Philip the Arab, tomb, altar made of grey tufa, etc.

[2] After the reconstruction of the central spa complex began in 2020, number of purchased construction lots in town increased, which raised hopes that population will start to grow.

[7] Kuršumlijska Banja is the seat of the eponymous local community (mesna zajednica), modern sub-municipal administrative unit.

Apart from the town itself, it includes nine others, surrounding villages: Vrelo, Vukojevac, Dabinovac, Krtok, Ljuša, Tačevac, Tijovac, Trmka and Šatra.

Depopulation is so strong that, though still existing on paper as separate settlements, Vukojevac and Tačevac lost all of its population by 1991 and 2002, respectively.

[2] It is a compact settlement, which consists of eight hamlets: Centar (Kuršumlijska Banja), Crkvište, Vrelo, Zdravkovići, Ivanovići (Pećanci), Arsići, Vukadinovići and Markovići.

[4] In 1961, Kuršumlijska Banja's elementary school "Dan Mladosti" had 700 pupils, including branches in four villages.

It includes the food venue “Prepolac”, villa “Milica” and an auxiliary object built around the spring of the geothermal water.

With over 10,000 tourists yearly, it wasn't just a gathering place of convalescents, but also of recreationists and excursionist, with numerous festivities being held in the town.

[11] The court decided in favor of the state in 2012, but the spa remained out of service and deteriorated a lot by 2018.

[10] The company "Planinka", which also owns spas Prolom and Lukovska Banja, water bottling factory in Prolom and administers the Đavolja Varoš natural park, purchased Kuršumlijska Banja for €1,415,836, which was approved by the government in February 2020.

The company announced investing €10-12 million in order to make spa operational again by the end of 2020 or beginning of 2021.

[11][12] The entire business deal was debunked by the investigative journalists, as a process which allowed for the businessmen close to the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) to obtain the assets.

One of Fund's deputy section directors, Valerijan Kadijević, publicly pointed to the illegal and dubious actions regarding the selling but was fired.

[13] Anti-Corruption Council, counseling body to the government, announced in January 2021 that the entire process consisted of illegal actions and proceedings, which caused a major damage to both the state and the PIO Fund.

[6] In April 2022, Serbian prime minister Ana Brnabić visited the site, announcing re-opening for September 2022.
