THE CITY OF ACQUI TERME (Pag. 2)

Apart from the already mentioned ruines of the roman aqueduct, the past of Acqui handed us the ancient chruch of Saint Peter and rests of the pre-roman and roman periods (tombs, amphoras, tools of daily life) are conserved in the Castles of the Paleologi (XI century): the memories testify the intense commercial and social development that the town has experienced in its history.

Other buildings should not be forgotten: the Dome of the XI century, the Church of Saint Francis, the medieval Tower of the Clock beyond the elegant noble palaces. 

The greatest tourist attraction is certainly the "Bollente", though, ie. the source of warm water that, at 75° of temperature and with a capacity of 560 liters per minute, gushes out in the center of the town, inside an elegant marble structure of neo-classical style. In Piazza Italia there are also an hotel with a health center and a structure for external patients. Still today, despite the technological progress of the medicine, the curative capabilities of the salso-bromo-iodiche-sulphureous waters (the scientific name) remain important in therapies for the respiratory and the movement problems, in the vascular hydro-gymnastics and in all the treatments for rheumatic and arthritic sufferings. In the last years also the area of the aesthetic treatments has been developed remarkably, for the beauty

of the ace and of the body. On this purpose, particular formulas of weekend like the "relax" one and the "remise en forme" one are being proposed.

Equally healthy, but perhaps little less valid from an aesthetic point of view, is what Acqui offers, in terms of food and wines: the surroundings of the town count 9 top-class wines and 9 middle-class wines. Acqui Terme hosts the regional Wine Cellar that is located in the prestigious Robellini Palace and collects the entire Piedmontese production. The attractive and various offering for a joyful vacation is of course guaranteed.
