Terme di Castel San Pietro Terme

The Terme di Castel San Pietro are known for the quality of the mud and for its sulphurous, ferruginous and salsobromojodiche mineral waters, known since the Middle Ages. The oldest source is probably the so-called "Fegatella", discovered in 1337, during a very serious epidemic of cattle, many of which brought healing. Many years passed and only in 1830 were carefully studied the sulphurous water, the ferruginous and salsobromojodica, discovering them rich in medicinal principles. After 4 years, in 1834 the Papal Government, through the Prior of Castel San Pietro, revived the capture and use of the renowned thermal waters and the following year (1835) the Society was established. It began, with modern criteria, the use of water, first for drink, then for baths. But it was in 1869 under the Kingdom of Italy that the new spa was opened, which was completed in 1891 and equipped with all the treatments then in use. Completely destroyed in 1945 following the war, it was rebuilt in 1955 and expanded in successive phases.
