Castel San Pietro Terme

Castel San Pietro Terme sits at the foot of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines along the ancient Roman Via Emilia, offering thermal springs and medical facilities.

The settlement evolved from a Roman control post into a medieval fortress in 1200, serving as a strategic boundary between Bologna and the Ghibelline territory of Imola.

The annual Carrera Autopodistica racing event brings the community together as teams compete with human-powered vehicles through the town streets since 1954.

Thermal facilities provide treatments using sulphurous and salsobromoiodic waters, with medical professionals supervising therapeutic programs throughout the year.

The Giardino degli Angeli spans 4000 square meters, created as a memorial garden by parents who donated this green space to the municipality.
