Summary
European spa towns, particularly those that flourished as tourist destinations during the 19th century, exhibit unique urban structures shaped by their thermal territories. These enclaves often feature key architectural and urban developments located at the boundary between city and landscape, providing critical insights into their historical growth and territorial relationships. The study highlights how these spa towns' special qualities have made them enduringly attractive, influencing both urban planning and landscape integration over time.
