The Bankya Mineral Baths (Bulgarian: Минерална баня „Банкя“, Mineralna banya „Bankya“), also known as the Great Baths and the Royal Baths, is a medicinal bath in the spa resort town of Bankya on the outskirts of Sofia, Bulgaria.

The building was fully renovated starting in 2018 and reopened in October 2022.[1][2][3]
