Castrocaro Terme is a perfect balance of wellbeing, nature and history and, together with the nearby historical walled town of Terra del Sole, forms a single municipality.
Spa waters in a medieval town
This is an extraordinary historical and cultural destination in the heart of Italy’s central Romagna region, and visiting the historical centre of Castrocaro Terme, still enclosed within its three circles of ancient walls, you will discover a perfectly preserved medieval town with many Renaissance buildings. The fortress that dominates the town from on high has notable architectural and historical value and is among the most important fortress models in the entire region.
Terra del Sole is a stunning fortress-city
Terra del Sole, which is just a kilometre from Castrocaro Terme along a tree-lined avenue, was built in the 16th-century as a fortress-city and has all the features of the ideal Renaissance urban-planning model. In fact it is protected by a wall that is over two kilometres long and 13 metres high and reinforced at the corners by four bastions. Inside the town was designed on a human scale, with beautiful buildings and palatial hones, many of which are still perfectly preserved.
Wellbeing facilities in a world-class spa
Castrocaro Terne’s spa facilities, in the same park as the 5-star Grand Hotel Castrocaro, is a state-of-the-art multifunctional complex with therapeutic paths, medical, aesthetic and thermal treatments. The area’s prodigious salso-bromo-iodine and sulphurous waters and its famous velvety mud make each treatment unforgettable. 
Crossing the mountains on two wheelsIn the area there are many bicycle itineraries through valleys and up and down hills, or talking the more difficult and steeper climbs to conquer the passes and peaks of the Apennine mountain range. Motorcyclists can easily reach Tuscany by crossing the Apennine ridges through the territory of Romagna Toscana, on the border between Tuscany and Romagna. No fewer than 126 kilometres of cycle paths link the thermal towns of Castrocaro and Bagno di Romagna.
The home of wellbeing and good living is not far from theme parks
Whatever route you take, there will be no lack of opportunities to enjoy the lush nature, traces of ancient history the excellent food and wines that have made Romagna the home of good living. From Castrocaro Terme it is also easy to reach the many theme parks on the coast and inland: Indiana Park in Bertinoro and the spectacular attractions of Mirabilandia, Atlantica, Fiabilandia, Italia in Miniatura, Oltremare and Aquafan.
