<p>Part of the famous <a href="/pages/w/135670246463456">Hotel Gellért</a> in <a href="/pages/w/108111639210856">Buda</a>, the <b>Gellért Thermal Baths and Swimming Pool</b> (also known as the <b>Gellért Baths</b> or in <a href="/pages/w/109189675767281">Hungarian</a> as the <b>Gellért fürdő</b>) is a bath complex in <a href="/pages/w/112117328801152">Budapest</a>, <a href="/pages/w/109316735753810">Hungary</a>.</p><h2>History</h2><p>The bath complex was built between 1912 and 1918 in the <a href="/pages/w/109846879034638">Art Nouveau</a> style. It was damaged during <a href="/pages/w/109429592416229">World War II</a>, but then rebuilt. References to healing waters in this location are found from as early as the 13th century. A hospital was located on this site during the <a href="/pages/w/109562339063423">Middle Ages</a>. During the reign of the <a href="/pages/w/107499692613388">Ottoman Empire</a>, baths were also built on this particular site. The "magical healing spring" used the Turkish during the 16th and 17th centuries. The bath was called Sárosfürdő , because the mineral mud settled at the bottom of pools.</p><h3>Reconstructive work</h3><p>The Gellért Bath underwent its first extensive renovation in 2008. The bath closed only once in its almost century long existence due to a burst pipe. The Gellért was open even during <a href="/pages/w/109429592416229">World War II</a> Towards the end of the war the prestigious <a href="/pages/w/109846879034638">Art Nouveau</a> women's thermal bath was bombed, destroying the <a href="/pages/w/109716769054056">Zsolnay</a> pyrogranite facade and the wooden interior of the dressing rooms. Due to economic condition following the war, the thermal bath was redesigned in a much more puritanical manner. The 2008 reconstruction served to restore the bath to its original splendor.</p>
