Vrnjačka Banja has a very long tradition of healthcare. In the period from the 2nd to the 4th century, the Romans built the AQUAE ORCINAE sanctuary and the restoration site on a hot spring mineral spring. This is also evidenced by archaeological findings in the narrower core of the Roman spa, that is, the swimming pool, the Roman spring of warm mineral water (Fons Romanus) and the plethora of coins that were left in the medicinal spring. Roman legionaries came here mostly to treat and recover, as well as Romanized aristocracy of indigenous peoples.

The development of modern Vrnjacka Banja started in 1868 with the work of the Founding Society, the oldest tourist organization in the Balkans.
