Acqui Terme in Piedmont is a tourist attraction. The quaint town has a warren of streets, nice restaurants and some nice shops. It is also still an important spa town because of its three springs: 'La Bollente', 'Del Lago' and 'Acqua Marcia'. The springs are said to have a healing effect on various health complaints. So at the La Bollente, don't be surprised if you see, especially, Italians, drinking a cup of water from the hot water. Acqui Terme was a distinguished thermal centre in Roman times. The imposing ruins of the Roman acqueduct on the river Bormida is the town's most valuable monument. The structure dates back to the time of Augustus, roughly early in the first century AD. It is located just outside the centre of Acqui Terme.
Next to Grand Hotel Nuove Terme, ruins of a large spa complex and an amphitheatre are still visible from the Roman city of Acquie Statiellae, today's Acqui Terme. You'll also find the Roman fountain on Corso Roma. All in all, a nice city.
