Three squares to get to know Casamicciola
The thermal springs, the hills and the sea: the starting points for discovering the town.
Casamicciola’s history can be read in its squares. Piazza Bagni grew up around the springs that made the town famous; Piazza Maio is the centre of the upper town, on the slopes of Monte Epomeo; Piazza Marina, on the harbour, became the heart of town life when, after 1883, the town gradually moved towards the coast. Visiting them in turn, climbing from the sea to the hills, is the easiest way to understand the area.
