Sofia Public Mineral Baths, Neo-baroque public bathhouse in central Sofia, Bulgaria
The Central Mineral Baths building features yellow and white facades with ceramic decorations and a central dome topped with a copper crown.
Constructed between 1906 and 1913, architects Friedrich Grünanger and Petko Momchilov designed this structure to replace older Ottoman thermal facilities.
The building combines Bulgarian National Revival architecture with Viennese Secession elements, displaying ceramic ornaments created by artist Haralampi Tachev.
The former bathhouse now functions as the Regional History Museum of Sofia, located at 1 Banski Square near the Serdika metro station.
Eight mineral water springs feed the fountains outside the building, providing free thermal water at temperatures between 30 and 45 degrees Celsius.
