Historical Background

Iron Age - 3rd Century BC
Ancient Origins

The name Montegrotto, meaning "mountain of sick people," reflects its long-standing reputation as a healing site. The curative properties of its mineral springs were known as early as the Iron Age, with an ancient lakeside sanctuary located between Monte Castello and Colle Montagnone. Visitors offered votive sculptures to the deity Aponus, thanking the gods for the healing properties of the thermal waters.

1st Century BC - 3rd Century AD
Roman Era

In Roman times, Montegrotto became an important thermal center. The remains of the Terme Romanae include interconnected pools and a small theatre, illustrating the Romans’ skillful use of the healing waters. Hippocrates himself praised the virtues of these hot springs.

All establishments in the Euganean Spa region hold I Super classification from the Italian Ministry of Health, indicating that they safeguard the natural resources of the area and apply strict discipline in using the waters.
