Legends and History of Abano Terme, Italy

Abano Terme is a city that is visited annually by more than 250,000 tourists from all over the world and whose history begins in the Neolithic era.

Healing of Hercules and the Ancient Romans

Local legend says that the first settlement in the territory of the current Abano Terme was founded by Hercules, who restored his strength and health here after heroic yet exhausting feats.

The Romans, who were big admirers of water procedures, also appreciated the healing properties of hot springs and mud from this valley. Therefore, more than two thousand years ago, the aristocrats of the Roman Empire actively built up the territory of Abano Terme with their villas. This settlement is evidenced by preserved buildings, burial sites, temples, ancient baths, and aqueducts.

City Development

In the sixth century, the temples built by the Romans destroyed pawnshops. Their restoration began only in the 12th century when Abano Bagni (as the city was called until 1930) received the status of an autonomous commune. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Bishop of Padua took extraordinary measures to develop the hot springs in the region. Measures were taken to develop the infrastructure and build public baths and recreation areas, which gave a tremendous incentive to develop the city as one of the most popular hot springs of modern times.

Later, the city was part of the Republic of Venice. During this period, the development of the area continued, and the agriculture of the region actively developed. After the fall of the Republic of Venice, most of the estates in Abano became the property of the wealthy citizens of Padua. Paduans had invested heavily in the development of the city, improving services and researching the healing properties of hot springs and mud.

Descriptions of Abano Terme have been immortalized in the words and music of the ancient Roman poet Claudius, the king of the Ostrogoths Theodoric, Shakespeare, Petrarch, Byron, Goethe, and Mozart. For centuries, the city welcomed crowned heads from all over Europe and celebrities. Abano Terme is also proud of its famous townspeople, including the outstanding medieval philosopher, astrologer, and physician who taught at the University of Paris and Padua, Pietro d’Abano, who was born here in 1257.
