The unique and protected ecosystem of Murdjadjo allowed the emergence of the sources of Messerghine.
It is said that in the past, the valley ofMesserghine sheltered a cave from which naturally flowed pure and fresh water, throughout the year.
The first written record, however, dates from Roman times, when the city of Gilva - current Messerghine - captured water from the mountains of Murdjadjo and channeled it through aqueducts to the Roman baths and other reservoirs of the city .
This ancient city, now disappeared, left behind vestiges that can be discovered here and there, around a walk.


During the Ottoman regency, state palaces and baths were built there. It is said that "Bey Osman's house" surrounded by remarkable gardens was supplied with water, by terracotta pipes. Taking advantage of the exceptional quality of these waters and the natural freshness of the site, a form of hydrotherapy will be born in Messerghine.
