History of Palatinus Baths
Palatinus was first opened in 1919, and was closed for enlargement after the first year. In 1921 the new baths was handed over with a larger pool and additional hot and cold water pools.
At the end of the 1930s, Palatinus was expanded by the plans of István Janáky and Károly Szőke, and a wave pool was built in addition. The wave pool is still in operation today, it’s almost 100 years old!
The bath was restored again after the Second World War in 1958, the beach was expanded with a 10,000-square-foot grassy sunbathing area.
In the 1970s an additional 18,000 square meters of land was added to the baths area with
playgrounds, football courts, and sitting areas.
