Castel San Pietro Terme is a town located in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, about 25 kilometers southeast of Bologna. The town is known for its thermal baths and is a popular destination for tourists seeking relaxation and wellness.
The thermal baths in Castel San Pietro Terme have been in operation since Roman times and are still a major attraction today. The water from the thermal springs is said to have therapeutic properties and is used for a variety of treatments, including massages, hydrotherapy, and mud therapy.
Aside from the thermal baths, Castel San Pietro Terme also boasts a rich cultural heritage, with several historic buildings and landmarks, including the Rocca, a medieval fortress that overlooks the town.
In July 2023, Castel San Pietro Terme will be hosting the WRTC2022 (World Radiosport Team Championship), also known as the Olympics of Radio, which is a global radio competition that brings together amateur radio enthusiasts from around the world to compete in a variety of events. This event is expected to attract a large number of visitors to the town, which will showcase its hospitality and the beauty of the surrounding region.
