The Mediterranean people were the ones who first made use of the water as a means of social interaction. The hot waters of the mineral springs that abounded from Anatolia to Roman Spain and that are distributed all around the “Mare Nostrum” were, at first, cult places and, by their side, shrines and altars devoted to the powerful and mysterious forces of nature emerged..
The public Baths and the Hot Springs played a special role in the Roman world.
The Thermae were not only a place for relaxation and enjoyment, but they also served as a meeting point for the economy and the social stability.
Nowadays, the modern Spas show again the same spirit of tolerance and social interaction, and the same life and body worship.
