Rudas Baths

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Rudas Bath or Rudas fürdő is a thermal and medicinal bath that was first built in 1550, during the time of the Turkish occupation of Hungary. To date, it retains many of the key elements of a Turkish bath, exemplified by its Turkish dome and octagonal pool. It is located at Döbrentei tér 9 on the Buda side of Erzsébet Bridge.

The baths were used as a location in the 1988 action movie Red Heat, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Belushi.

It re-opened at the beginning of 2006, after a comprehensive renovation of its interior.
