Remains of an ancient Roman aqueduct that ennoble our city, rich in history of the distant civilization of the Roman Empire. Many other remains scattered in the area testify to the importance of the spa since ancient times. In addition, the barbarism exercised over the decades by the various questionable thematic administrations has reduced it to a minimum, leaving the ancient splendor to total decay.
