This is the oldest health resort in Romania, known since the Roman times, when it was called Ad aquas Herculis sacras (its documentary attestation as a resort dates back to A.D. 153), for the therapeutical effects of the sulphurous, sodic, calcic, magnesian, oligomineral thermal waters, that are slightly radioactive, used both in internal and external cures.
