San Pellegrino Terme – a gem of Val Brembana – is a renowned town nestled along the Brembo River, world-famous for its water, the celebrated San Pellegrino. But San Pellegrino Terme is much more than its water: it is a place rich in history, architecture and charm, which enchants visitors with its unique atmosphere.
The Art Nouveau buildings, the historic wellness center with its thermal baths, the famous Grand Hotel and the San Pellegrino water factory make this town a fascinating destination for those seeking relaxation, culture and beauty.
The Baths, built in 1840, transformed a small town in the valley into a renowned resort for the wealthy international bourgeoisie. The facility was further expanded in the late 19th century, with buildings constructed in the Art Nouveau style, the artistic movement that favored curved, arabesque lines.
Within a few years this movement conquered San Pellegrino, populating it with some of the world’s most eclectic examples of this style, including the majestic Municipal Casino, the Grand Hotel and the water bottling factory.
Most of these works can currently be visited; some have recently been restored and reopened to the public. The Baths, for example, are now part of an elegant spa that combines Art Nouveau architecture and refined modern design.
