Marcali: Medicinal Water, Galleries and Historic Cultural Sites

Medicinal Water and Art in Marcali

Since 1989, the Marcali Spa and Leisure Centre has offered officially recognized medicinal water containing sodium bicarbonate and chloride. Marcali is also home to a Holy Trinity statue erected in 1884. For planning a stay, two specific local points of interest can be considered side by side: the spa with its officially recognized medicinal water and the statue dating from 1884.

Architecture and Crafts

The Bernáth Aurél Gallery is housed in a Bauhaus villa built in the 1930s, which is protected under local heritage regulations. The Bernáth Aurél Gallery displays 30 works of art and personal mementos. For a cultural stay, the Bernáth Aurél Gallery can be understood as a combination of a Bauhaus villa and the collection on display. At the Marcali Museum, the permanent exhibition “Mesterek és műhelyek” presents tools and craft knowledge from five former local trades: blue dyer, shoemaker, ornamental metalworker, gingerbread maker and ropemaker. The “Mesterek és műhelyek” exhibition recreates the atmosphere of a market from the period between the two world wars. The five former local trades and the market atmosphere define the exhibition’s historical theme.

Church and Galleries

The Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Marcali combines Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque stylistic features. In Marcali, the Kulturális Korzó Kortárs Galériája permanently displays works of art acquired by the town in 2007 and 2008.
