Salsomaggiore Terme, Thermal spa town in Province of Parma, Italy.
Salsomaggiore Terme is a spa town in the Province of Parma, known for its salt-rich healing waters and early 20th-century thermal baths. The wide avenues in the center pass Art Nouveau buildings with decorated facades, small hotels, and treatment centers that still welcome visitors today.
The discovery of salt-rich springs at the start of the 19th century turned a rural settlement into a health resort that drew guests from across Europe. In the following decades, bathhouses and hotels rose here, establishing the reputation of the place as a healing retreat.
The town takes its name from the salt-rich springs rising from below, which have drawn visitors for decades seeking relief and rest. The spa gardens at the edge of the old center invite people to stroll along shaded paths between treatments, offering a quiet retreat from the daily pace.
The town lies around 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Parma and is well connected by regional trains. Those wishing to explore the surroundings can reach medieval castles in the nearby hills within less than an hour.
The water rises from artesian wells reaching depths up to 1200 meters (3900 feet) without the need for pumps. The temperature remains steady at around 16 degrees Celsius (61 degrees Fahrenheit) and carries dissolved minerals that have been used for decades.
