Ancient thermal establishment

Via Salara Statale - In the city of salt, the spas are a consolidated tradition of care.

It was the salt workers themselves, who worked for many months immersed in the water and mud of the Cervesi salt pans, who realized the properties of the black mud, which soothed their wounds and pains.
The XX century had just begun and from those first empirical curative interventions, in 1930, we moved on to the construction of a small temporary outdoor establishment, inside the salt pans.
The land, near the factory, is private property and today only the old boundary columns remain. The structure consisted of 240 large tanks dug out of clay entirely outdoors, where people could immerse themselves to take mud baths which then dried under the sun.
The ancient baths were divided into two departments, for men and for women; there were also changing rooms with loungers, bar service and ticket office.

The opening hours were from 10 to 16 and were frequented by Cervesi, Romagna from the surrounding areas, and in recent years also by users from other regions. The plant, managed by the CRAL delle Saline, was closed at the end of the 1950s to make room for the new thermal building located on the outskirts of Milano Marittima, inaugurated in 1959, where mud and water coming from it are still used today. from the salt flats.
