Termas de São Pedro do Sul, in the parish of Várzea, has been exploited since Roman times, with the remains of a Roman bathhouse classified as a National Monument. Tradition holds that King Afonso Henriques, Portugal's first king, came to recover from a leg injury in 1169, and a royal bathhouse (Balneário D. Afonso Henriques) was later built over the Roman structure. A second facility, Balneário Rainha D. Amélia, was built in 1894. The weakly mineralized, sulphurous, bicarbonated, sodium and fluoridated water emerges at about 68.7°C with a pH of 8.8, and the resort is described as the most frequented in the country, drawing roughly 16,000 spa guests a year.
Roman exploitation dates to the 1st century AD, with a Roman bathhouse now classified as a National Monument. King Afonso Henriques, Portugal's first king, is said to have recovered here from a leg fracture in 1169, and a royal bathhouse was later built over the Roman remains. The Balneário Rainha D. Amélia facility dates to 1894.
