Baths of Acireale

Located in the heart of the Ionian coast, just 15 kilometres away from Catania, Acireale is a renowned tourist destination which owes its fame to the presence of a peculiar urban settlement dating back to the medieval time as well as to the erection of the city on the top of a picturesque volcanic highland, known as La Timpa.
Of ancient origins, the Baths of Acireale were built in the Greek time, thanks to the discovery of local sulphurous mineral water springs, and later improved by the Romans. Today it is one of the most renowned centre of spa tourism in the world by virtue of a plurality of renovations and additions which have enhanced the quality of the structure over the centuries.

The hypothermal water (22 °C) has a volcanic origin and is mixed with the underground sea water. The vegetal-mineral mud is obtained through the ageing of the volcanic clay for three years in the sulphurous water that flows from the Greek-Roman spring of S. Venera al Pozzo.

It is mainly a sulphurous – salso-bromo-iodic water.
