Băile Govora

• ru: Бэиле-Говора

2562 Băile Govora Băile Govora is situated at an altitude of 300 m in the southern foothillls of the Southern Carpathians (Transilvanian Alps), about 15 km southwest of the county capital, Râmnicu Vâlcea. The municipality has a population of about 2,900 (2007).

The village originated when in 1864 the nearby monastery of Govora was secularized. The mineral springs of this site had already been known for some time and it was decided then that they should be used to attract more tourists. The first patients were veterans of the Romanian army. The spa was founded in 1889.
