More About Casamicciola
Casamicciola, or Casamicciola Terme, is located on Ischia's northern coast and is renowned for its thermal springs.
After visits by the Greeks and pirates (the locals are said to have hidden in a nearby cave), the town's renown as a spa spread in 1607, when a free thermal spa centre was set up for the poor. The thermal springs, along with a modern marina, are the town's greatest attractions.
Casamicciola is divided into two parts; with one centre by the sea and the other up the slopes. More than any other town on Ischia, Casamicciola was devastated by the earthquake of 1883, and was subsequently rebuilt. From Piazza Majo, in the upper town, energetic visitors can head upwards towards Monte Epomeo, the island's highest mountain, and admire panoramic views.
The area's sights include Casa Ibsen, where the playwright stayed, and the Castiglione, once a Greek fortress and now a thermal spa centre.

In Casamicciola Terme you’ll be stunned from the marvel of the extinct volcano, visitable right to the end, as covered by a green and thick vegetation.
Casamicciola Terme is enjoyable anytime of the year: let yourself be enchanted by the folkloric tradition of the living nativity scene… a very suggestive scenography admirable during Chistmas.
Just below the hill of Castiglione, the gorgeous turquoise sea is even more embellished by the Grotto of Sibilla. The so-called Sibilla Cumana was a prophetess, a close up soothsayer that foresaw the future. She used to live in Cuma, an old village in front of Ischia. When the king Aristodemo ascended the throne of Cuma, Sibilla got constantly nettled and bothered from the king himself.
Someday Sibilla, in order to show her immense power and how much she held the king in contempt, called her Vestals to lie on the sea over a huge mantle. She suddenly got on the mantle and, under the astonished eyes of the king and his courtiers, departed towards Ischia and took up her residence into the Grotto of Castiglione, later called "Grotto of Sibilla".
Until the 60’s Casamicciola housed the most popular bathing-thermal establishments of the whole Campania. The thermal bath renowned all across Italy and over used to be Pio Monte della Misericordia. This historic establishment's founded in 1610 from the homonym congregation of Neapolitan nobles, in order to allow anybody to enjoy the amazing benefits of those natural thermal springs.
Taking advantages of the free board, lodging and cures, every poor person of the island had the possibility to enjoy Casamicciola for 2 entire weeks per year. The resort was originally based in the area of Piazza dei Bagni and benefited the natural spring of Gurgitiello but, after the disastrous earthquake of 1883, it was rebuilt on the seashore. Unfortunately in the 60’s Pio Monte was totally abandoned and today its remains are still visible from the port.
