Thermal Baths are intertwined with ancient myths: according to Diodorus Siculus, the nymphs had the thermal spring gush out to refresh Hercules during his way to Erice; according to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Aeneas left some of his mates at the baths, for them to be fortified by their water.

The spring is situated in the open country in the surroundings of Segesta’s archaeological site. The sulfurous alkaline water of spring is conveyed together with its thermal mud from a basin of clay and into the spa building, a former mill. The modern spa resort was built above the ancient one in 1958.

The spa has an Arabic theme and as you enter the spa you´ll find Moorish lamps and mood lighting, kind of like a Moroccan Rhiad.
