Body Care and Spirituality – The Santa Maria Acquas Thermal Baths<\/h1>
<\/div>

The Ancient Thermal Baths of Sardara, located about two kilometers from the village in the Santa Maria Acquas locality, represent one of the most important hydrothermal sites in Sardinia. Known since antiquity, the springs were initially exploited by the Nuragic populations and, subsequently, by the Romans in the 1st century AD, who built the therapeutic settlement of Aquae Neapolitanae there. The remains of these ancient basins and wall structures bear witness to the millennial culture of thermal wellness in this specific area.<\/p>\n

Today, the area of the Ancient Thermal Baths combines the charm of Roman and industrial archaeology with the beauty of the surrounding natural park. The site is closely connected to the nearby Sanctuary of Santa Maria Acquas, creating an evocative hub that combines body care, spirituality, and the historical memory of Medio Campidano.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Geology and Characteristics of the Waters<\/h2>\n

From a geological point of view, rainwater penetrates to great depths, heating up and mineralizing before rising back to the surface at temperatures ranging between 45\u00b0C and 60\u00b0C. These are bicarbonate-alkaline and sodium-chloride waters, classified as hyperthermal. Due to their chemical-physical properties, they are historically renowned for their therapeutic efficacy in treating respiratory tract disorders, dermatological pathologies, and osteoarticular problems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Body Care and Spirituality – The Santa Maria Acquas Thermal BathsThe Ancient Thermal Baths of Sardara, located about two kilometers from the village in the Santa Maria Acquas locality, represent...","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33671,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-30725","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nBody Care and Spirituality -
