Encyclopedic overview
Porretta Terme (Bolognese: Puràtta) is a spa town and frazione of the comune of Alto Reno Terme, in the Metropolitan City of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy. It lies in the upper valley of the Reno, in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, near the border with Tuscany.
Known since Roman times for its thermal springs, Porretta developed into one of the historic spa towns of northern Italy. It was an independent municipality until 31 December 2015, when it merged with Granaglione to form the new municipality of Alto Reno Terme.
