Wandering around the streets of Recoaro Terme

Recoaro will welcome you with elegance and style, making you relive lost and bygone times.

Strolling through its streets, your attention will be caught by the presence of numerous Art Nouveau buildings with finely decorated façades. These include the Casa del Melograno (Pomegranate House).

In the central square you will find the Church of Sant'Antonio Abate, built by the famous architect Vaccaro in 1950. Nearby you can also admire the stone bell tower with a hexagonal base.

For history lovers, we suggest a visit to the Museum of Soldier's Life in the Great War and the German bunker built during World War II.

The central street, on the other hand, is characterised by elegant shops and craft workshops, bars and typical Veneto taverns where you can spend a nice evening enjoying good wine and food.

Near the centre, you can drop by the 'Garden of Kindness'. A garden created at no cost kept alive and cared for by the kindness of citizens. 

Thermal cures with Recoaro Terme's famous waters

At the end of the 17th century, following various analyses and research, it was ascertained that the waters of Recoaro Terme were rich in minerals and possessed numerous curative properties suitable for the treatment and medical care of various pathologies.

For this reason, illustrious and famous personalities of the time began to visit the spa resort, increasing the fame and notoriety of Recoaro's miraculous waters.

Inside a grandiose late 19th-century Art Nouveau palace are the Fonti Centrali di Recoaro, immersed in a park thick with centuries-old trees that stretches over 22 hectares.

Here you will find five different types of thermal waters, Lora, Lorgna, Amara, Nuova and Lelia, with different characteristics that must be taken in the form of a drink in order to benefit from their properties.

Among the various thermal therapies, all to be carried out under medical prescription, are cures for respiratory diseases, rheumatism, joint diseases, liver diseases, etc.

The Fonti Centrale's building can be easily reached on foot from the town centre. Nearby, in facilities detached from this central, you will also find four other thermal springs, known as Giuliana, Capitello, Franco and Aureliana.
