Budapest's Széchenyi Baths

Széchenyi Fürdö (Baths) are the deepest and hottest in Budapest, with the spring water reaching the surface at a temperature of 74-75 degrees C (180 degrees F). The neo-Baroque building was constructed in 1909-13, and there are three open-air pools that are used all year round.

The interior was beautiful beyond description, and I doubt my images will do it justice.

I am amazed that he elaborate decorations could survive in what must be a very humid atmosphere. Stupendous images.

Sutro Baths were never like this. The architect must have cleaned up on this project. ~V~
