Hagymatikum sits at Makovecz tér 6 in central Makó, drawing 41°C alkaline hydrogen-carbonate water from a well 993 meters deep. The site's first bath building opened in 1963, following well drilling that began in 1956, and the spa was substantially expanded in 2012 in a building designed by organic architect Imre Makovecz (an earlier 2007 training-pool complex was designed by his student, Lőrinc Csernyus). The spa is also known for its slightly radioactive marosi therapeutic mud, used regionally for musculoskeletal and rheumatological treatment.
Well drilling began in 1956 and the first bath building opened in 1963. The 2012 expansion, designed by renowned Hungarian organic architect Imre Makovecz, gave the spa its landmark onion-domed appearance (the name Hagymatikum plays on 'hagyma,' the Hungarian word for onion).
The spa's 2012 building is a notable example of Hungarian organic architecture, a movement pioneered by Imre Makovecz that emphasizes flowing, nature-inspired forms — Hagymatikum's onion-dome-like structures reference the region's agricultural identity (Makó is historically known for onion cultivation).
