The historic heart of Spa: the place called « Spa » from the 14th century was this water source. Victor Besme's octagonal kiosk (1880), restored from 2009 to 2012, houses the tourist office and the winter garden where the Golden Book is exhibited, a nearly 9-meter canvas by Antoine Fontaine that brings together Spa's illustrious visitors. Tsar Peter the Great stayed there in 1717 to take the waters; his bust, offered by Prince Anatole Demidoff, was placed there in 1856.
