Park "Zdrojowy" in Busko-Zdrój

The beautiful Spa Park in Busko-Zdrój was laid out by Henryk Marconi in the 19th century, while the greenery arrangements were designed by Ignacy Hanusz.

The parkland can be divided into three parts: the bathhouse garden, Adam Mickiewicz Lane leading from the garden to the market square, and the town square with fountain on Plac Zwycięstwa. The garden occupies an area of about 40 acres and contains over 4.5 thousand plant species. A magnificent neoclassical building of Łazienki (Baths) stands in the middle of the park. It"s the oldest sanatorium in Busko-Zdrój, designed by Henryk Marconi.

Today it houses a pump-room and sanatorium Marconi. All cultural events of the healthbresort are organized in the Spa Park. There is a band-shall, many cafés and restaurants on the park premises, and the Concert Hall often hosts Polish and foreign artists as well as the local Salonowa Orkiestra Zdrojowa (Spa Salon Orchestra).

There is also a hill in he park with a neo-Gothic chapel (1888) on top which shelters a picture of St Anne, patroness of the spa. Strolling along the park lanes and paths one can admire many breath-taking villas occupied by sanatoriums and spa pensions (Bagatela, Sanato, Słowacki, Oblęgorek, Ormuzd, Zielona, Bristol).
