Thermal springs on the territory of Karlovy Vary are said to have been attributed curative power a long time before the establishment of Karlovy Vary. The first historically documented therapeutic procedure was carried out at the turn of the 14th century when Charles IV bathed his aching legs the mineral water of one of the springs. From the 16th century onward, the geyser of hot mineral water used to be covered by many structures: a baroque building, an empire colonnade, a cast alloy colonnade or a temporary wooden colonnade. Another - and for the time being still existing - structure embracing the spring was erected in the late 1906’s. The space under the colonnade floor hides infrastructure for the drawing, distribution and thermal regulation of thermal water. However, there are also areas where aragonite ‘grows over’ the souvenirs of Karlovy Vary. The old section of the thermal spring underground will soon be open to the public who will be able to go on a guided tour there.
