Eva Swimming Pool Bathing place with grounds
Spa Eva is a functionalist spa house in Piestany in Trnava region. It was built in 1933 and 1934 on the Spa Island.
The building was the last investment of the Winter family on the Spa Island. The project was designed by Bratislava architects Franz Wimmer and Endre Szőnyi. Wimmer, who then worked as a professor of German technology in Prague, joined the cooperation. He also called Václav Kolator, former racer and author of expert articles on swimming pools.
The architecture of the object is narrow and corresponds to functionalism, which is reflected in the composition of undecorated rectangular prisms. Authors were based on classic patterns and traditions. Element of the area is arch jumping bridge. Symmetrical composition of the building limited the possibility to develop a well-structured architectural unit.
The Monument Office of the Slovak Republic registers the area under the number of ÚZPF 11264. It consists of a swimming pool, an open pool with a bridge and an open children's pool. The swimming pool consists of a 25-meter indoor pool, a 50-meter open swimming pool with a jumping bridge, a children's open pool, accessories and sunbathing areas. There are two clay tennis courts, a beach volleyball court and streetball. In the 21st century a new children's pool with slide was built.
The swimming pool has undergone several renovations, mainly related to technology. In the last quarter of the 20th century a new entry object was added. The inflow of thermal water was gradually reduced, transforming the function of thermal swimming pool into standard. Currently the building is owned by Piešťany Spa, it operates as a tenant waterpole club.
Eva swimming pool serves as a training center for swimmers and water poles; there are two swimming clubs and one water-pool. Several top athletes trained in the facilities, including the double Olympic medalist Martina Moravcová.
The current state of some parts is problematic. The indoor pool is due to poor static roofing out of service and the 50-meter pool is closed due to technical condition. The area represents the realization of intermilitary architecture in Piešťany.

Seasonal recommendations
In the spring, the surroundings of the Eva Spa will wake up to life. The flowering greenery in Piešťany creates a contrast with the architecture of the spa house. The sun during this period provides natural lighting suitable for outdoor photography. Layered clothing is recommended for variable weather and morning visits.
Summer season brings heat and bright light to Trnava region, which highlights the details of the building. The surrounding area is full of visitors during summer holidays. Due to high temperatures it is advisable to choose light, breathable clothes and visit the site early in the morning or later in the evening.
Podzim in Piestany is characterized by golden tones of leaves. Lighting is softer and warm in this period. It is practical to put on an impetuous coat or jacket and use a quieter period after the main season.
The winter season brings to the city a silence that is more prominent in Advent time. Bathroom building In winter light, Eva acts monumentally, especially in snow or morning fog. It is necessary to dress in warm layers and tight shoes. The most appropriate time to visit are the midday clock with the greatest amount of daylight.
