Going to the Baths, Part 1 - Some History


We have a two parter today on going to the baths, and part one goes into some history.
It was the Turks who carried the Roman bath concept into modern times,
so I'm starting with this undated photo that I like.

  1. Places like this need a revival. Full Roman style.

    1. I think it would work. Cut back Roman architecture, sequence of rooms, swimming pool. Nude only rule.

    2. From a cultural perspective, Scandinavia might work with the sauna tradition as a springboard.

  2. Als die Türken den Balkan eroberten, brachten sie die Badehäuser zurück, restaurierten einige Antike römische Bäder und bauten mehrere neue Bäder in Budapest. Die Sauna- und die Spa- Tradition blieb zum Vorteil Mittel- und Osteuropas bestehen. (“)
