Hotel Plaza & Locanda Maggiore

In addition, Montecatini Terme shares an irrevocable bond with Giuseppe Verdi who loved to get away from the bustle of the city to enjoy the benefits of the thermal waters, which were an indispensable source of serenity and inspiration.
Historically, starting from the church, the avenue connected the Via Regia with the “Tettuccio” through the Leopoldine baths and the “Palazzina Regia”. The town evolved and grew around it, becoming the connecting axis and focal point for the hillside of Montecatini Alto, the medieval village.
