In the places of springs, baths or therme were first built by the Romans who knew how to use the potentials of the healing waters and air of the spa. People gathered around these resorts, bathed, relaxed, and treated various diseases. The tradition of active use of the bath continued the Turks, and then our rulers as well. Milos Obrenovic also was coming to the Amam bathroom in Sokobanja, and he even built his own bathtub here.
