Termas de São Pedro do Sul

Remains of a Roman changing room prove that this Spa was used in the period of the Roman conquest.

Its original name - Balneum - gave rise to the place name Banho by which the village was known in the 11th century.

São Pedro do Sul baths have been attended by Kings and Queens throughout the centuries, benefiting from a reputation only a long History can provide.

The thermal properties of these waters have been used for over 2000 years, but it was during the Roman era that the most important thermal water heritage was left.

Later, the so-called Caldas Lafonenses were attended by King Afonso Henriques when he broke his leg at the Badajoz Battle.

However, it was because of King Manuel I that the Caldas de Lafões Hospital was built in 1515.

This led to the later development of this town.

During the 19th century, a modern spa replaced the Manueline hospital and it was later successfully attended by Queen Amélie whose name would forever be associated with São Pedro do Sul baths.

Nowadays, the Queen Amélie Spa is the most comfortable alternative for those who want a comfortable environment with a high level personalized treatment.

Near the Roman ruins, the Afonso Henriques Spa provides you with recently renovated facilities and the most innovating health baths programs.

Whether you want to join a water healing program, which lasts at least two weeks, or you just want to relax for two or three days, this is definitely a place to consider.

Far from the bustle of the city and in absolute harmony with Nature, you should take the chance to try the pleasure of the baths and also save some of your time to visit São Pedro do Sul Biopark or take a stroll through the mountains of Arada, Gralheira and S. Marcário.
