Montecatini Terme

Montecatini Terme is known and loved for its waters and its Liberty architecture.

The city is full of green spaces and is perfect to discover on foot, in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere
pervaded by cultural stimuli.

You can cross and stop in the pine forestafter observing the Art Nouveau buildings. Among all, the complex of Terme Tettuccio, built at the end of the 18th century and completed at the beginning of the 20th century, deserves a special visit.

The building is one of the most beautiful examples of thermal architecture with colonnades, fountains, grandstands and is immersed in a park of Lebanon cedars, laurels, wisteria, lime trees, palm trees.
The thermal water flows from the Tettuccio spring and is collected in the central pool with a wonderful parapet with seahorses.
