Termas de São João do Deserto, Thermal spa in Aljustrel e Rio de Moinhos, Portugal.
The thermal complex features mineral springs situated in two distinct sections, with separate pools for different therapeutic applications and treatments.
From medieval times until the mid-20th century, these waters served as healing sources, with potential earlier use by Carthaginian and Roman settlers.
Local shepherds traditionally brought their livestock to the springs, while residents sought treatments for various skin conditions in the mineral-rich waters.
Located at coordinates 37.875767, -8.166617, the site maintains its original structures despite the absence of formal heritage protection status.
The springs contain two types of water classified at the 1867 Paris Universal Exhibition as strong source and weak source, each with different mineral properties.
