- Abstract
In July 2021, 11 spa towns in 7 European countries were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as new World Heritage Site under the title "Great Spa Towns of Europe". These include Františkovy Lázně, Karlovy Vary, and Mariánské Lázně in the Czech Republic, Baden (Baden bei Wien) in Austria, Bad Ems, Bad Kissingen, and Baden-Baden in Germany, Spa in Belgium, Montecatini Terme in Italy, Vichy in France, and Bath in the UK. All these towns are centered on spa centers and districts that have developed around mineral springs. They are characterized by the abundance of parkland and, in particular, the adjacent aesthetically landscaped spa landscape, the use of which was and is part of the spa treatment. The article traces the twenty-year process of implementing the whole idea of supplementing the World Heritage List with the best representatives of spa towns and their very specific urban typology and architecture, which was successfully completed with the nomination of an international series.
