Can you imagine the Romans soaking in these very waters over 1,700 years ago? You are standing right in front of the Termas de São Vicente, a place steeped in both history and healing. These thermal springs have been used for centuries, since the Roman era, to treat a range of ailments. The Romans discovered these waters in 315 AD and recognized their restorative properties. It is believed that these waters were used by the Romans for their health benefits due to the high mineral content. Even the current waters are the most alkaline sulphurous waters in Portugal.

These include respiratory therapies, balneotherapy, and even hydrokinesitherapy. The waters are known for their effectiveness in treating conditions like asthma, rheumatism, and even skin conditions. The Termas also boast modern, cutting-edge facilities, a testament to how the healing properties of these springs have endured over time. These waters beckon, inviting you to experience their soothing embrace and discover the ancient secrets they hold.
