PalaTerme, sport venue of Montecatini Terme, Italy

PalaTerme is a multi-purpose sports hall in Montecatini Terme, home to the town's basketball clubs. Its capacity was cut to 1,500 seats by a Pistoia police order in December 2018, then raised to 2,722 in May 2019. A 2.75 million euro renovation added a new roof, air-conditioning systems, rebuilt changing rooms and a new parquet floor.

PalaTerme opened on 17 March 1991, when Lotus Montecatini beat Fortitudo Bologna 104-91 in its first official game, ending the club's exile to Lucca's PalaTagliate. Montecatini Sporting Club played home games here until folding in 2001, including the 2000-2001 Korać Cup. After a 2.75 million euro renovation begun in 2024, the two Serie B teams returned in March 2026.

The hall is nicknamed PalaSpecchiasol when it hosted Miss Italia in 2011 and 2012. It has also held FIDS dance competitions, the 2014 CSI national karate championship, and the men's and women's Serie A-1 tennis finals in 2015 and 2016.

The hall sits in Montecatini Terme and is reached on foot or by local transport; its two Serie B tenants returned in March 2026 after a renovation worth 2.75 million euros that replaced the roof, air-conditioning systems, locker rooms and parquet. Capacity was set at 2,722 places from May 2019, after a questore's order had cut it to 1,500 in December 2018. Check which club or event is using the building before travelling, since it stayed closed to games for almost two years from 12 June 2024.

The hall is also known as PalaMadigan, and in 2011 and 2012 it was renamed PalaSpecchiasol for the Miss Italia beauty pageant held there. In January 2010 it hosted the semifinals and final of the men's volleyball Coppa Italia, won by Trentino Volley.
