  Thermae Bath Spa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thermae Bath Spa is a spa in the city of Bath in Somerset, operated by the Local Authority, Bath and North East Somerset council.
The natural spring, one of the few geothermal springs in the country, was responsible for the prominence of Bath in the Roman period, as well as for the the later development of Bath as the country's leading eighteenth and early nineteenth century health resort.
Thermae Bath Spa eventually opened to the public on 7 August 2006, thus ending a 28-year period during which the waters remained unavailable for bathing.

However, the existing spa pools were closed in the 1970s as a result of the discovery of an infectious agent in one stratum of the aquifer.
The new spa is primarily sited in a new building on the site of the old swimming pool in Beau Street which manages to combine an ultra-modernist style with great sympathy for its Georgian surroundings; but there are a number of other aspects of the new development, including a refurbishment of the Cross Bath.
