The spa was founded by Romans in 102 CE. During
their rule, it was one of empire's most
fashionable resorts, visited by aristocrats from
all the Roman world. Many ruins of aqueducts,
thermae, monuments have been erected during that
time. Six statues of Hercules have been unearthed
since 18th century. A copy of one of them stands

more than 1500 years. The Habsburg empire
refounded the spa in 1718 preserving its ancient
Roman name, "Hercule's Baths". During the
Austrian rule (1718-1918) somptuous Baroque and
Neoclassical buildings have been constructed.
