Bardejov Colonnade is the first spa colonnade in Slovakia. It was completed on the occasion of the 725th anniversary of the founding of the spa. Its location was determined by five original springs of mineral waters. The water from the springs is led out in a continuous counter with 12 outlets, which, together with kiosks and sanitary facilities, is enclosed in a glazed, air-conditioned space. Wooden sculptures by Vladimír Kompánek are placed in five apses. The flat roofing of the steel structure with an aluminum ceiling is supported by shaped reinforced concrete columns. Technical facilities - thermal water accumulation and air conditioning engine room - are located in an elevated basement.
