The Thermal Baths of Monfalcone are the only thermal facility in the region supplied with therapeutic waters effective for various pathologies, extracted from 150-200 metre deep wells at a temperature of 39-40° and rich in mineral substances. The origins of the Thermal Baths date back to the Imperial Roman period towards the end of the 1st century B.C., in the area defined by Pliny the Elder as the Insule Clarae. Destroyed several times over the centuries, first by the Barbarians (452 B.C.) and then by the Turks (1433), it was reactivated in the 16th century and then in 1840, continuing its activity until the First World War. It was restored again in the early 2000s. Archaeological research has brought to light the central courtyard flanked on two sides by a portico with frescoed rooms, other smaller rooms and decorative marble statues. In addition, several votive inscriptions for healing were found, suggesting the presence of a space consecrated to the Fons Timavi and its healing powers. The Municipality of Monfalcone is implementing a large new structure dedicated to wellness next to the historical facility, including an indoor and outdoor thermal pool.
