Termini Imerese, Coastal commune in Sicily, Italy
Termini Imerese is a coastal town on Sicily's northern shore, shaped by natural thermal springs and situated at an elevation of 77 meters (250 feet) above sea level. The town has three highway exits and a central railway station that connect it to other parts of Sicily.
This settlement arose after the ancient Greek city of Himera was destroyed by Carthaginian forces in 409 BCE, when people resettled at this location. The Romans later transformed the area into a major thermal bathing center.
The thermal baths here represent a living tradition of using natural hot springs that stretches back to Roman times and continues to define the town's character. Visitors can see how these warm waters remain central to local life and wellness practices.
The town is easily reached through three highway exits on the A19 and has a central railway station with good connections to Palermo and other Sicilian destinations. The waterfront areas are freely accessible to visitors, and the town center is compact enough to explore on foot.
A substantial Roman aqueduct with a striking double-arch bridge remains Sicily's largest preserved water system and once carried water from eastern forest springs to the town. This structure showcases Roman engineering skill and is noteworthy for visitors interested in ancient infrastructure.
