The story

You're standing at the Rác Bath in Budapest, in the old Tabán district. It may look modest, but beneath your feet rises one of the oldest known thermal springs in the city. Around 400 BC a Celtic tribe, the Eravisci, settled right here. They came for the spring: warm water all year round, and you could even drink it.
