Castel San Pietro Terme

Province: Bologna · Region: Emilia-Romagna · Population: 20,468 · Postal code: 40024

Arriving in Castel San Pietro Terme means traveling along the ancient Roman Via Emilia until the plains meet the foothills of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. Recognized as a member of the Cittaslow network, this municipality prioritizes a measured pace of living — and the "Terme" suffix is earned, its sulphurous springs in use since the nineteenth century.

Known as Castel San Pietro dell'Emilia until 1959, the town currently counts just over 20,400 residents. It forms part of the Nuovo Circondario Imolese, bridging the administrative gap between Bologna's metropolitan area and the surrounding provincial landscape.
