Army thermal hospital, Military thermal hospital in Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda, France
The hospital complex consists of three limestone buildings arranged in a U-shape around a wooded park covering six hectares along the Mondony riverbank.
The French Ministry of War constructed this thermal medical facility between 1847 and 1886 to provide therapeutic care for military personnel using mineral waters.
The architectural style reflects 19th-century military construction practices, incorporating limestone walls with brick and cayrou framing around doors and windows.
The facility contains three swimming pools, nine shower rooms, and multiple treatment spaces with natural lighting through elevated openings.
The hospital's glass gallery connects various buildings, allowing patients to move between treatment areas while maintaining a constant therapeutic temperature.
