EDITORS COMMENTS
Abano Terme: A Journey Back in Time to the Ancient Italian Spa Town Step back in time as we explore the captivating image of Abano Terme, a charming spa town and commune nestled in the eastern slope of the Colli Euganei in the Veneto region of Italy. Dating back to Roman times, Abano Terme has been renowned for its therapeutic mineral waters and natural hot springs, drawing visitors from all corners of the world in search of health and wellbeing. In this evocative photograph, we are greeted by the imposing classical entrance to the ancient Source (Sorgente) of the thermal springs on Montrone Hill (Colle). The intricately designed archway, with its grand columns and ornate details, transports us back to a bygone era. The image, captured in the circa 1930s, showcases the timeless beauty and allure of this historic spa town. Abano Terme's rich history is deeply rooted in the Roman tradition of balneotherapy, or the use of mineral baths for therapeutic purposes. The town's name is derived from the Latin 'Abae,' meaning 'water,' and 'Nasus,' meaning 'nose,' reflecting the belief that the mineral-rich waters could help alleviate respiratory ailments. As we stand in awe of this magnificent entrance, we can almost hear the gentle bubbling of the thermal waters and feel the soothing mist on our skin. Abano Terme continues to be a popular destination for those seeking a rejuvenating escape, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
