History
The dawn of the city of Teplice is linked to its mineral springs. Knowledge of healing springs in the Teplice valley dates back approximately 2000 years, which is documented by archaeological findings of Roman coins in the Pravřídlo (Primary Hot Spring) and 2000-year old Celtic coins and jewellery in the Giant Spring near Duchov. The Antique tradition of giving thanks to the healing power of mineral springs by throwing coins or other gifts into the spring has proven that the Teplice springs are among the longest known and intensively utilised springs in Central Europe. 
Historical knowledge of the early Middle Ages mentions Slavonic settlements in the area and foundation of the Benedictine Monastery of St. John the Baptist, initiated by Queen Judith.In the centuries that followed, the use of the Teplice Spa increased and the City grew hand in hand.
