Description
This is a photo of a staircase in a former hotel.
In the early 20th century, after chemical analysis had taken place and revealed the uniqueness of the water, the city this building is located in, was officially declared a medical spa resort. Building of the resort started around 5 years later. In the 50’s of the 20th century, the city was an important spa-resort during the Soviet era. At different times, there were built 9 bathing houses and 19 sanatoriums. Bathing house #6, which is the largest still functioning thermal bath today, was built exclusively for Joseph Stalin in the 1950’s. In 2015 a new medical thermal center erected, which contrasts with a lot of buildings that are in heavy decay in the rest of the city.
