Govora Spa, a Healing Oasis

Radio Romania International
The exploitation of mineral water springs with therapeutic properties started in 1879, people being treated in wooden bathtubs, located within the precincts of the neighboring Govora Monastery. The first spa treatment building was erected in 1887, boasting almost 30 booths for warm baths. The spa was officially inaugurated with the opening to the public of the Hotel “Palace”, which was built in such a way that each of its rooms could get at least one hour of direct sun light. At the same time a treatment facility equipped with bathtubs made of cast iron was inaugurated. In time, with the development of the spa, other hotels and guesthouses emerged, and the spa became a township after 1950.
