Il Sassetto: what to see nearby

Sarnano stands between two streams, the Rio Terro and the Tennacola, and its territory is rich in springs. The best known is the San Giacomo spring, already known to the locals in the 16th century; in 1929 the podestà (the town's chief official) had its waters analyzed by the University of Camerino and the provincial hygiene laboratory, and this led to the creation of the spa.

After 84 years of activity, the historic spa building was made unusable by the 2016 earthquake, and the three healing waters were moved to a new facility on a hill overlooking the historic center and the mountains. In recent years the spa has had closures and partial reopenings: before going, it is best to ask the Terme which services are running.
