Let's look, specifically, at 8 different places on the thermal baths in Campania to spend an unforgettable weekend of wellness:

This thermal area, in which there are also several archaeological excavations of Greek origin, offers very large outdoor pools and several whirlpool baths.

The best known are the so-called Stufe di San Germano, or saunas with natural dry heat. They were named after the bishop of Capua who was treated here for arthritis associated with a skin disease. This is the only example of a natural dry heat sauna in Italy that allows high temperatures and promotes rich sweating, thus a detoxifying action for the body, bringing benefits for rheumatism, skin diseases and respiratory disorders.

The Agnano Thermal Baths are the oldest in Italy, testified to by archaeological excavations that tell of the exploitation of the thermal waters since ancient times.

Thermal Baths of Castellammare, of very ancient origins, include different types of water, with 28 mineral springs.

The thermal complex consists of two establishments that include not only the ancient thermal baths but also the so-called new thermal baths.

At the moment, the thermal baths are closed, but several redevelopment projects are underway to reopen the thermal complex to the public.

The thermal springs present form two small lakes with temperatures ranging from 38 to 54 degrees. Their waters are indicated for the treatment of arthrosis, rheumatism, respiratory diseases, and inflammation pain.
