As the cradle of Roman civilisation, Italy has a long tradition of spas. In fact, in ancient times, thermal springs were widely used by the Romans for therapeutic or recreational purposes. In some cases, the presence of these springs led to the construction of temples and important buildings around them. Then, during the Middle Ages and throughout the Renaissance, these thermal springs continued to attract people to enjoy their benefits.
The magical thrill experienced by the Romans around these hot springs has gradually given way to a more and more sophisticated method of treatment. However, some of them still remain in places where everyone can discover the simple pleasure of bathing in a setting close to nature.
Where can you find hot springs and thermal baths in Italy?
An interactive map lists the thermal baths in Italy (not an exhaustive list), making it easier for travellers to find them. These thermal baths, which have thermal springs, can be:
– free thermal baths, with or without facilities;
– paid thermal baths;
– a thermal cave;
– former thermal baths (closed or abandoned thermal baths).
