Harrogate is a town in Yorkshire,
UK, which has been famous as a spa town since 1571, when the
first medical spring was discovered. Harrogate reached its
peak as a spa town in the XIX century, in the Victorian age,
when the Turkish Baths were built.
Harrogate Turkish Baths were built in Moorish style, with
mosaics, arches and screens. The Baths were enlarged and completely
