Spa, Thermal town in Walloon Region, Belgium
The mineral springs of Spa emerge from multiple locations throughout the town, including the central Pouhon Pierre le Grand and several freely accessible fountains.
Peter the Great of Russia visited Spa in 1717, leading to the development of thermal centers in his country and having the main fountain named in his honor.
The town maintains the world's oldest casino establishment, which continues to operate alongside modern thermal facilities and entertainment venues.
Visitors can reach Spa via direct train connections from Liège, with the journey taking under one hour through the Ardennes mountain region.
The natural mineral waters of Spa distribute across Europe, contributing the word 'spa' to the English language as a term for therapeutic bathing establishments.
